Question

What is the magnetic field due to the current carrying conductor?

Solution

Magnetic field due to the current-carrying conductor:

  1. The magnetic field represents the region around a magnet where magnetism acts.
  2. Magnetism is caused by a moving charge or a magnetic material.
  3. Moving charges produce magnetic fields proportional to the current, just as stationary charges produce an electric field proportional to the magnitude of charge.
  4. A current-carrying conductor, in other words, generates a magnetic field around it.
  5. The magnetic field is produced by subatomic particles in the conductor, such as electrons moving in atomic orbitals. The magnetic field lines that circle a straight conductor (straight wire) carrying current are concentric circles with their centers on the wire.
