A wire is attached to the ceiling so that the current flows south to north. A student is standing directly below the wire facing north. What is the direction of the B-field (caused by the current in the wire) at this observation point

Sagot :

Answer:

If one wraps the fingers around the wire and points the thumb in the direction of the "conventional" current the fingers will point towards the North pole - the direction of the B-field.

In this case the B-field is pointed "West".
