Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In which direction does the magnetic field point in relation to the current in a straight conductor?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that a straight conductor is a wire through which electric current flows.
Step 2: Recognize that electric current has a specific direction, which is the direction that positive charges would move.
Step 3: Learn about the magnetic field, which is an invisible force field created around the conductor when current flows.
Step 4: Remember that the magnetic field lines form circles around the conductor.
Step 5: Know that the direction of the magnetic field is always at a right angle (90 degrees) to the direction of the current.
