Question

In a circular current-carrying conductor, the face of the coil towards the observer behaves like a south pole if the current flows __________.

• A. In clockwise direction
• B. In anticlockwise direction
• C. In alternating clockwise and anticlockwise direction
• D. First in anticlockwise for some time then in clockwise direction

Answer 1

The correct option is A In clockwise direction

Clock rule: When we face the coil and current flows clockwise then that end will act as south pole and another end as north pole.

If current flows in anticlockwise then one end forward observes will be north pole and other south pole.
