Question:

State the rules for finding the direction, when :

(a) A magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current,

(b) The force experienced by a current carrying a straight conductor placed in a magnetic field placed perpendicular to it.

(c) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.

Answer:

(a) The direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight current carrying conductor is given by the right-hand thumb rule.

(b) The direction of the force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to it is given by Fleming's left-hand rule.
