Small hints while dealing with magnetic effects of electric current


  • The device whose working principle is based on Helmholtz coils and in which uniform magnetic field is used is called as Helmholtz galvanometer.
  • When a current carrying coils is suspended freely in earth's magetic field , its plane stays in east west direction
  • Cyclotron frequency is also known as magnetic resonance frequency
  • Cyclotron cannot accelerate electrons because they have very small mass 
  • Magnetic force does not work when the charged particle is displaced while electric force does work in displacing the charged particle
  • Magnetic force is velocity dependend while electric force is independent of the state of rest or motion of the charged particle
  • The value of magnetic field induction at a point on the center of seperaton of two linear parallel conductors carrying equal current in the same direction is zero.
