State the clock rule to determine the polarity of any face of a circular current-carrying loop

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If an observer looking at the face of a circular loop finds the current to be flowing in the anticlockwise direction, the face of the coil behaves like the north pole. If the current is flowing in the clockwise direction, the face of the coil behaves like the south pole.
