Question

In a circular current-carrying conductor, if the current flows in the clockwise direction, the magnetic field direction is __________.

• A. Parallel to the coil towards the observer
• B. Perpendicular to the plane of the coil away from the observer
• C. Perpendicular to the plane of the coil towards the observer
• D. Parallel to the plane of the coil away from the observer

Answer 1

The correct option is B Perpendicular to the plane of the coil away from the observer

The magnetic field are concentric circle at point of a current carrying circular conductor direction of the magnetic field of every section of the circular loop can be found by using the right hand thumb rule .if you curl your right hand fingers in direction of magnetic field your thumb will point in the direction of the current flow.
