Question
Generate a description of the right-hand rule for finding the magnetic field around a current carrying wire and tell how it is used to determine the direction of a magnetic field around a straight, current carrying wire.
Answer:
Right Hand Rule:
The direction of the magnetic field is governed by the direction of the current flowing through the conductor. Right Hand Grip Rule is a simple method of finding the direction of current flowing through the Conductor.
Method:
Grasp a wire with your right hand in such a way that your thumb is pointed in the direction of current. Then curling fingers of your hand will point in the direction of magnetic field.
