State the right hand thumb rule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Imagine that you have held a current -carrying straight conductor in your right hand in such a way that your thumb points in the direction of the current. Then turn your fingers around the conductor . The direction of the fingers is the direction of the magnetic lines of force produced by the current .
