Question

Write true or false for this statement :
A current carrying coil when suspended freely can rest in any direction.

Open in App
Solution

A current carrying coil behaves like a bar magnet with north (N) pole at one face of the coil and south (S) pole at the other face, depending upon the direction of current in the coil.
That’s why the current carrying coil, when suspended freely, will rest along the N-S (north-south) direction due to the earth’s magnetic field.

Hence the given statement is false.
