The story behind...

In 1819, Hans Christian
Oersted, a Danish physicist
and chemist and a professor
in the University of
Copenhagen, discovered
during a class demonstration
that a current carrying wire
would deflect the compass
needle. He inferred that an
electric current would induce
a magnetic field.

Guide Questions
Part A

From a top-view perspective, in which

direction does the north pole of the
compass needle point when placed
around the straight current-carrying
conductor? If the direction of the
current is reversed, in which direction
does the needle point?

Direction of Magnetic Field

Right Hand Rule (RHR)

If a current carrying conductor is

imagined to be held in the right
hand such that the thumb points in
the direction of the current, then
the tips of the fingers encircling the
conductor will give the direction of
the magnetic lines (magnetic field)

Force on a current-carrying conductor in a

Concepts Learned
Magnetic Field
An electric current produces magnetic effect around

the conductor (called Magnetic Field)

The magnetic field surrounding a current-carrying

conductor can be shown by sprinkling iron filings or

arranging magnetic compasses around the conductor
The compasses line up with the magnetic field (a

pattern of concentric circles about the wire)

produced by the current.
When the current reverses direction, the compasses

turn around, showing that the direction of the

magnetic field changes also.

Concepts Learned
Motor Effect
A current-carrying conductor when placed in a

magnetic field experiences a force.

If the direction of the field and that of the current

are mutually perpendicular to each other, then the

force acting on the conductor will be perpendicular
to both. This is the basis of an electric motor.
The direction of the magnetic field, current and

force can be determined using the RHR.
