Which of the following statements is not true ?
- The strength of magnetic field due to a bar magnet can be changed.
- A solenoid behaves like a bar magnet i.e. it attracts iron filings.
- The magnetic field increases if a soft iron core is placed along the axis of solenoid.
- The magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are nearly straight and parallel to the axis of solenoid.
The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid are :
- parallel and circular
- straight and parallel to the axis of solenoid
- straight and perpendicular to the axis of solenoid
- circular
On reversing the direction of current in a wire, the magnetic field produced by it:
- gets reversed in direction
- increases in strength
- decreases in strength
- remains unchanged in strength and direction.
