### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **State the Right Hand Thumb Rule**: The Right Hand Thumb Rule states that if you hold a current-carrying conductor with your right hand such that your thumb points in the direction of the current, then the direction in which your fingers curl around the conductor indicates the direction of the magnetic field lines. 2. **Visualize the Circular Loop**: Consider a circular loop of wire lying flat on a table. The current is flowing through the loop in a clockwise direction. ...
