Electromagnetism
i) Why does a current carrying, freely suspended solenoid rest along a particular direction? [2]
ii) State the direction in which it rests.
i) Current carrying freely suspended solenoid behaves just like a bar magnet with fixed polarities (North and South) at its ends. Hence, it rest in North-South direction exactly in the same manner as a bar magnet does.
ii) North- South direction
