1) An electric current through a metallic conductor produces a around it.
2) The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at a given point as the current through the wire increases.
3) The magnetic field produced by a given current in the conductor as the distance from it increases.
4) The field lines of a magnetic field around a straight conducting wire is represented by a pattern of around the wire. These become larger and larger as distance from wire .
5) If you are holding a current-carrying straight conductor in your hand such that the thumb points towards the direction of and your fingers will wrap around the conductor in the direction of the of the magnetic field.This is known as the rule.
6) If there is a circular coil having n turns, the field produced is times as large as that produced by a single turn.
7) A coil of many circular turns of insulated copper wire wrapped closely in the shape of a cylinder is called a .The ends of behave as .
8) The field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of straight lines.
9) The field is inside the solenoid.
10) A strong magnetic field produced inside a solenoid can be used to a piece of magnetic material, like iron, when placed inside the coil. The magnet so formed is called an .
