AI Thread Summary
A current-carrying wire will deflect in different directions when the current is reversed due to the interaction between the magnetic field generated by the current and the external magnetic field. The right-hand rule can be used to determine the direction of the force acting on the wire based on the current's direction and the magnetic field orientation. The discussion highlights the importance of attempting to solve the problem independently before seeking assistance. Ultimately, the original poster resolved the question on their own. Understanding the principles of electromagnetism is crucial for predicting the behavior of current-carrying wires in magnetic fields.

Will a current carrying wire stretched between two supports deflect in different directions when current is goes through the wire in one direction and then reversed?

It's not a problem buddy it was a question. Thanks for your response but I figured it out already on my own.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
