Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor are in which shape? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that a current-carrying conductor is a wire through which electricity flows.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when electricity flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 3: Visualize the wire as a straight line.
  • Step 4: Imagine drawing circles around the wire at different distances from it.
  • Step 5: Realize that these circles are the magnetic field lines.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the magnetic field lines are concentric circles centered around the wire.
