State the direction in which a current carrying, freely suspended solenoid rests?

Open in App

Solution

A current-carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.
We know that a freely suspended bar magnet aligns itself in the north-south direction.
So, a freely suspended current-carrying solenoid also aligns itself in the north-south direction
