Answer:
On passing the electric current in a conductor
a magnetic field will be produced. Since the
two parallel conductors are carrying current
that results in a magnetic field. That means
both conductors are in the magnetic field of the
other. Hence they experience an attractive
magnetic force according to Fleming's left
hand rule.

57 An ammeter and a voltmeter are joined in
series to a cell. Their readings are A
and V respectively.
respectively If a resistance is now
joined in parallel with the voltmeter, then S
1) A will increase, V will decrease
2) A will decrease, V will increase.
3) Both A and V will decrease.
4) Both A and V will increase.
Answer:

When resistance is joined in parallel with the

voltmeter the equivalent resistance is less than
both the resistance, as a result of this current in
A will increase and voltmeter reads the potential
difference of the resistance. But the potential
difference of the cell is more than the potential
difference of resistance therefore V decreases.

An electron projected in the direction of fields with
some velocity

1) It will turn towards right of direction of motion

2) It will turn towards left of direction of motion
3) Its velocity will decrease
4) Its velocity will increase
Answer:

Since the charge particle is moving along the

magnetic field direction hence the magnetic
force acting F=Bqv sin ɵ is zero because ɵ is
zero but the electron will experience an
electric force F=Eq opposite to field. Hence its
velocity will be increased.
