Asked in UHS MDCAT 2022 2022Moderate

The source of magnetic field is:

Correct answer: D. Current loop

  • A. An isolated magnetic pole
  • B. Static electric charge
  • C. Nonmagnetic substance
  • D. Current loop

Explanation

A current loop, such as a wire carrying electric current in a circular path, creates a magnetic field around it. This is known as Ampere's law, which states that a current-carrying conductor generates a magnetic field proportional to the current flowing through it.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
