Question

Match the given situation with the resulting direction of magnetic field.

Answer 1

1)up

2)left

3)Away from you

4)down

5)Away from you

6)right

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the direction of magnetic fields induced by current running through a wire, use a modified Right Hand Rule. Point your thumb in the direction of the current and bend your other fingers around an imaginary pole. The direction that your fingers point is the direction of the field lines.

If this method of the RHR is too confusing, applying the standard RHR might be more helpful. Make an L (palm facing you) with your right hand. Point your thumb in the direction the current is flowing, and your index index finger to the point you want to know about. Finally, open up your remaining fingers to make a
`90\textdegree` angle with your palm and that is the direction that the field is pointing.
