Question
How is the magnetic field due to a straight current carrying wire affected if current in wire is reversed?
Advertisements
Solution 1
The direction of magnetic field lines will get reversed.
Solution 2
Although the iron filing pattern remains unchanged when the wire's current flow is reversed, the compass needle's direction of deflection is changed.
