**Question 3**

A solenoid is shown below. The current in the solenoid is clockwise as viewed from the right side. What is the direction of the magnetic field inside of the solenoid?

![Diagram of a solenoid with current indicated as clockwise](assume-link)

Options:
- ○ to the left
- ○ into the page
- ○ to the right
- ○ up
- ○ down
- ○ zero, therefore no direction
- ○ out of the page

**Explanation of Diagram:**
A solenoid is depicted with a series of loops and an arrow indicating the clockwise direction of current when viewed from the right side. The direction of the magnetic field inside the solenoid depends on the right-hand rule, which states that if you curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the current, your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field.

**Question 2**

A solenoid is shown below. What is the direction of the magnetic field at point 1?

[Diagram of a solenoid]

- The diagram depicts a series of tightly wound loops of wire, forming a solenoid. It is oriented horizontally. There are three indicated points along the solenoid: Point 1, Point 2, and Point 3. 


- Each loop is marked at the top with a circle containing a dot, suggesting current flowing out of the page, and at the bottom with a circle containing a cross, indicating current flowing into the page. This implies a current flowing from left to right across the solenoid.

**Options:**

○ down

○ into the page

○ zero, therefore no direction

○ to the left

○ to the right

○ up

○ out of the page

Expert Solution
Step 1: Required Concept for question 3:

Using the right-hand rule to evaluate the direction of the magnetic field.

Right-Hand Rule:- In this rule, your thumb will be represented by the direction of the magnetic field if your fingers represent the direction of the current.
