Question

Question 7
Will the compass needle show deflection when the switch in the circuit shown in the figure is closed?

Open in App
Solution

No, the compass needle does not show any deflection, because there is no power source in the circuit. Therefore, there will be no flow of electric current through the circuit and thus there will be no magnetic effect, which is required to deflect the magnetic needle.
