Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the direction of the magnetic field due to a current-carrying loop at its center?
  • Step 1: Understand that a current-carrying loop creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 2: Identify the direction of the current flowing in the loop (clockwise or counterclockwise).
  • Step 3: Use the right-hand rule: Point your thumb in the direction of the current flow.
  • Step 4: Curl your fingers around the loop; your fingers show the direction of the magnetic field lines.
  • Step 5: At the center of the loop, the magnetic field lines point out of the plane of the loop.
