Cheat Notes - Magnetic Effect of Electric Current (Prashant Kirad)

The document discusses the magnetic effect of electric current, highlighting key concepts such as the properties of bar magnets, magnetic fields, and the relationship between electricity and magnetism. It explains rules like Maxwell's Right Hand Thumb Rule and Fleming's Left Hand Rule, as well as the differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Additionally, it addresses electrical safety issues like short circuits and overloading, along with the use of fuses in domestic circuits.
