Question

In an experiment to know the intensity of magnetic field around a current carrying coil, why is the coil kept in the North South Direction.

Open in App

Solution

When the coil is kept in south north direction the magnetic field becomes free. That is when kept in south north direction the geomagnetic does not influence the experiment.
