Question

State whether True or False :

If electric current is passed through metal body then it behaves as magnet.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If electric current is passed through metal body then it behaves as magnet. passing an electric current through iron does not produce a magnet. But if you pass a direct current through a coil wound around the piece of iron, you will magnetize it. Passing a direct electric current through the same coil with no iron inside the coil will still produce a magnetic field that behaves just like a magnet. Similarly, passing a direct current through a coil around a piece of Bismuth will create the same magnetic field which behaves just like a magnet.
