Question 1 Report
(a) Explain what is meant by a magnetic field
(b)(i) Describe an experiment to show that a magnetic field exists around a straight wire carrying current
(ii) Draw a labelled diagram showing the pattern and direction of the magnetic field rroduced around the wire. (Neglect the earth's magnetic field).
(c) Sketch the magnetic field due to two straight parallel wires carrying current in the same direction. Indicate the neutral point in the field
(d) Explain, with the aid of a labelled diagram, how a delicate magnetic material could be protected from the earth's magnetic field.
