The safety measured commonly used in electric circuits are as follows:
(i) Fuse
Each circuit should be connected to a fuse because a fuse prevents the flow of excessive current through the circuit. When the current in the circuit exceeds the maximum limit of the fuse element, the fuse melts to stop the flow of current protecting the appliance connected to circuit.
(ii) Earthing
Earthing protects the user from electric shocks. Any leakage of current in an appliance is transferred to ground by earthing and the people using the appliance is prevented from getting electrocuted.

State the rule to determine the direction of an
(i) magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current,
(ii) force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it, and
(iii) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.
Two circular coils A and B are placed closed to each other. If the current in coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give a reason
