Itis a convenient way of finding the direction of magnetic field associated with current, carrying conductor. Hold the straight wire carrying current in your right hand such that, thumb points towards the direction of current, then your folded fingers around the, conductor will show the direction of magnetic field., , of magnetic, field lines., , This rule also called Maxwell’s corkscrew rule., , 9. Magnetic Field due to Current through a Straight Conductor, , Direction of Direction can be, Current explained using, Se, ie, , , , of magnetic field, , Let a current carrying conductor be suspended vertically and the electric current is flowing, from south to north. In this case, the direction of magnetic field will be anticlockwise. If the, current is flowing from north to south, the direction of magnetic field will be clockwise., , Acurrent carrying straight conductor has magnetic field in the form of concentric circles;, around it. Magnetic field of current carrying straight conductor can be shown by magnetic, field lines., , , , a ‘, Magnetic wire Right-hand grip rule, field, , 10.
