Explain the rule with illustration, related to the direction of current through a linear conductor and magnetic field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of a linear conductor carrying current, the magnetic field is in the form of concentric circular magnetic lines of force whose centre lies on the conductor. These magnetic lines of force are lying in a plane perpendicular to the straight conductor. The direction of magnetic lines of force can be given by Right Hand Thumb Rule. For details,
