Question

Take the regular compass and hold it so the case is vertical. Now use it to investigate the direction of the coil’s magnetic field at locations other than the central axis. What happens as you move away from the center axis toward the coil? What happens above the coil? Outside the coil? Below the coil?

Answer 1

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Take the regular compass and hold it so the case is vertical. Now use it to investigate the direction of the coil’s magnetic field at locations other than the central axis.

What happens as you move away from the center axis toward the coil? The direction of the magnetic compass needle will move in an opposite direction since the direction of the induced voltage is reversed.

What happens above the coil?

the needle on the magnetic compass will be deflected. Since compasses work by pointing along magnetic field lines

Outside the coil? The magnetic compass needle will experience no deflection. Since there is no induced voltage or current.

Below the coil?

The needle will move in an opposite direction.
