The chapter Magnetic Effects of Electric Current in Class 10 Science explains how electricity and magnetism are interconnected. Students learn that an electric current flowing through a conductor produces a magnetic field, demonstrated by Oersted’s experiment. The chapter covers right-hand thumb rule, magnetic field lines, and the working of devices like electric motors and electric generators.
Fleming’s left-hand and right-hand rules are explained to understand the direction of force and induced current. The concept of electromagnetic induction, which is the principle behind generators and transformers, is also introduced. Practical applications such as the use of domestic electric circuits, power generation, and transmission highlight the importance of this topic. This chapter builds a strong base in Physics by combining theory with real-life applications, making it highly significant for Class 10 board exams as well as competitive exams like NEET and JEE.
