As shown in the diagram an aluminium rod 'AB' is suspended horizontally between the two poles of a strong horse show magnet in such a way that the axis of rod is horizontal and the direction of the magnetic field is vertically upward. The rod is connected in series with a battery and a key.
State giving reasons:
(a) What is observed when a current is passed through the aluminium rod from end B to end A ?
(b) What change is observed in a situation in which the axis of the rod 'AB' is moved and aligned parallel to the magnetic field and current is passed in the rod in the same direction ?
