Give reasons for the following :(i) There is either a convergence or a pergence of magnetic field lines near the ends of a current-carrying straight solenoid.(ii) The current-carrying solenoid when suspended freely rests along a particular direction.(iii) The burnt-out fuse should be replaced by another fuse of identical rating.


(i) There is either a convergence or a divergence of magnetic field lines near the ends of a current-carrying straight solenoid because the strength of the magnetic field is higher near the poles or ends of the solenoid.

(ii) The current-carrying solenoid when suspended freely rests along a particular direction because it behaves like a bar magnet as it aligns itself in the north-south direction. 


(iii) The burnt-out fuse should be replaced by another fuse of identical rating because if a fuse, with a defined rating, is replaced by one with a larger rating then the fuse wire will not burn even when a current greater than the safe limit is flowing. As a result, the electrical circuit or devices will be damaged.
