Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the current in a circular loop is reversed, what happens to the direction of the magnetic field at the center of the loop?
  • Step 1: Understand that a circular loop carries an electric current.
  • Step 2: Know that the current creates a magnetic field around the loop.
  • Step 3: Remember that the direction of the magnetic field is determined by the direction of the current.
  • Step 4: If you reverse the current in the loop, the flow of electricity changes direction.
  • Step 5: Since the magnetic field direction depends on the current direction, reversing the current will also reverse the magnetic field direction.
  • Step 6: Therefore, at the center of the loop, the magnetic field direction will also be reversed.
