Question

The direction of lines of force of the magnetic field produced by a straight wire carrying current can be obtained by using ______.

Options

• Maxwell’s right-hand grip rule

• Maxwell’s right-hand rule

• Maxwell’s left-hand rule

• Lenz’s law

Answer 1

The direction of lines of force of the magnetic field produced by a straight wire carrying current can be obtained by using maxwell’s right-hand grip rule.

Explanation:

According to Maxwell’s right-hand grip rule, if a straight current-carrying conductor is held in the right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of current, the curled fingers indicate the direction of the magnetic field lines around the conductor.
