[amp_mcq option1=”Clockwise” option2=”Counterclockwise” option3=”Out of this page” option4=”Into this page E. None of the above” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is B. Counterclockwise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The right-hand rule states that if you curl your fingers in the direction of the current, your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field. In this case, the current is flowing straight into the page, so if you curl your fingers in the direction of the current, your thumb will point up. This means that the magnetic field is pointing counterclockwise around the conductor.<\/p>\n Option A is incorrect because the magnetic field is not clockwise around the conductor. Option C is incorrect because the magnetic field is not out of the page. Option D is incorrect because the magnetic field is not into the page. Option E is incorrect because there is a magnetic field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Clockwise” option2=”Counterclockwise” option3=”Out of this page” option4=”Into this page E.
