Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of reversing the direction of current in a loop on the magnetic field direction? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that a loop of wire carrying an electric current creates a magnetic field around it.
  • Step 2: Remember that the direction of the magnetic field is determined by the direction of the current flowing through the loop.
  • Step 3: If you reverse the direction of the current in the loop, the flow of electricity changes direction.
  • Step 4: Since the magnetic field direction depends on the current direction, reversing the current will also reverse the magnetic field direction.
  • Step 5: Therefore, when the current direction is reversed, the magnetic field produced by the loop will point in the opposite direction.
