Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the shape of the magnetic field lines around a circular loop of wire carrying current? (2021)
  • Step 1: Imagine a circular loop of wire. This is where the current flows.
  • Step 2: When current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 3: The magnetic field lines are invisible lines that show the direction and strength of the magnetic field.
  • Step 4: Around the circular loop, these magnetic field lines form concentric circles. This means they are circles that share the same center.
  • Step 5: The center of the loop is where the magnetic field is the strongest.
  • Step 6: As you move away from the loop, the strength of the magnetic field decreases.
