Question

A positive charge is moving towards a person. The direction of magnetic field lines will be in:

• A. $\text{Vertically Upward direction}$
• B. $\text{Vertically Downward direction}$
• C. $\text{Anticlockwise Direction}$
• D. $\text{Clockwise Direction}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{Anticlockwise Direction}$

As we have a positive charge here, so the current will be in the same direction as the charge.


So, using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of magnetic field lines will be anticlockwise.
