Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic f
orce at any point in the magnetic field will act in:________ a. the same direction as the current.
b. a clockwise direction.
c. a counterclockwise direction.
d. the direction opposite to the current.
When the direction of current is towards the observer then the magnetic field around it will be in the form of concentric circles and its direction will be anti-clockwise when viewed from the observer side.
Whenever current is flowing in a current-carrying conductor then the magnetic field is associated with it and direction of the magnetic field is given by right-hand thumb rule according to which if thumb represents the direction of current then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field
