Which diagram shows the correct magnetic field pattern of the current-carrying coil?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What is the functions of commutator?

• Reverse the direction of current in the coil every half rotation so that the coil continues to turn in same direction

• To contact with the commutator so the current from the battery enters the coil.

• Push the brush so it will always contact with the commutator.

Diagram shows a coil placed between the poles of a permanent magnet and is connected to the external circuit.Determine the direction of rotation of the coil when the switch is closed.

• Clock wise

• Anti Clock wise

• Alternately, anticlockwise then clockwise

• Alternately, clockwise then anticlockwise

• Current in the coil

• Strength of magnetic field

• Coil with more turns

• Use soft iron core
