A conductor that is conducting current generates a magnetic field everywhere around it. This magnetic field exerts force on the compass's magnetic needle, causing the needle to deviate.

Definition of Maxwell's rule

A current-conducting conductor creates a magnetic field everywhere around it. The magnetic needle of the compass experiences force from this magnetic field, which causes the needle to veer.

Equation for deflection

We have so far established that the total flux of electric field out of a closed surface is just the total enclosed charge multiplied by 1/ε0, ∫→E⋅d→A=q/ε0. This is Maxwell's first equation. It represents completely covering the surface with a large number of tiny patches having areas d→A.

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?
ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?
Alina [70]
Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.
