    Direction: Q.1 to Q.5
    In 1820, A Danish physicist, Hans Christian Oersted, discovered that there is a relationship between electricity and magnetism. By setting up a compass through a wire carrying an electric current. Oersted showed that moving electrons can create a magnetic field. Oersted found that, for a straight wire carrying a steady current (DC), the magnetic field lines encircle the current-carrying wire. The magnetic field lines lie in a plane perpendicular to the wire. If the direction of the current is reversed, the direction of the magnetic force reverses. The strength of the field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the current. The strength of the field at any point is inversely proportional to the distance of the point from the wire.
    Read the given passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions.
    Who was the first to discover the relation between electric and magnetid field?

    A) H.C. Oersted         

    B) Charles William Oersted  

    C) Charles Maxwell

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) H.C. Oersted.                                        Hans Christian Oersted discovered that there is a relationship between electricity and magnetism.
