How can we find the direction of magnetic field due to straight wire carrying current?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The direction of magnetic field due to straight wire carrying current can be determined by right hand thumb rule.
IF you grab the current carrying wire with your right hand. It such a way that thumb is in the direction of current, then the curled fingers show the direction of magnetic field.
