Question 23
H

A magnet rests on a balance. A horizontal wire is supported independently between its poles. When current flows, the balance reading increases. The current is then reversed without changing its size. Which gives the original magnetic force on the wire and the new balance reading compared with the reading at zero current?

[1]
A

Original force downwards; new reading lower

B

Original force upwards; new reading lower

C

Original force upwards; new reading higher

D

Original force downwards; new reading higher
