Open in App

Solution

Maxwell's right-handed cork-screw rule states that if a right-handed screw is turned in, in such a way that it moves forward in the same direction as the conventional current, then its direction of rotation will give the direction of a magnetic field.
This rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying conductor.
