  3. The magnetic field strength increases
  4. The magnetic field becomes weaker

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of reversing the direction of current in a loop of wire on the magnetic field it produces? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that a loop of wire carries an electric current.
  • Step 2: Know that when current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around the loop.
  • Step 3: Realize that the direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of the current.
  • Step 4: If you reverse the direction of the current in the loop, the magnetic field will also change direction.
  • Step 5: Conclude that reversing the current reverses the magnetic field produced by the loop.
