Question

In the figure shown below, $⨂$ represents a wire carrying current towards inside the plane of the paper. At point $P$, the direction of magnetic field is given by -

• A. $\uparrow$
• B. $\downarrow$
• C. $\to$
• D. $\leftarrow$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\downarrow$

From the right-hand thumb rule, direction of magnetic field at $P$ is given by $\downarrow$.



Hence, option $\left(B\right)$ is the correct answer.
