$A$ device used for producing current is:

Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines associated with a current-carrying straight conductor. State how the magnetic field produced changes:
$(i)$ with an increase in current in the conductor,and
$(ii)$ with an increase in the distance from the conductor.

Meena draws magnetic field lines of a field close to the axis of a current-carrying circular loop. As she moves away from the centre of the circular loop,she observes that the lines keep on diverging. How will you explain her observation?

Describe the working of an $AC$ generator with the help of a labelled circuit diagram. What changes must be made in the arrangement to convert it to a $DC$ generator?

Who first observed the magnetic effect of an electric current?

Describe in short an activity to:
$(i)$ demonstrate the pattern of magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor, and
$(ii)$ find the direction of the magnetic field produced for a given direction of current in the conductor. Name and state the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying conductor. Apply this rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside a current-carrying circular loop lying horizontally on a table. Assume that the current through the loop is anticlockwise.
