Explanation of Solution
The lines of magnetic induction
The right-hand rule relates the direction of the lines of magnetic field near a long straight wire to the direction of the current in the wire is if the thumb represents the direction of the current in the wire than the four finger of the right hand would represent the curl in the direction of the magnetic field.
Conclusion:
Right-hand rule states that if the thumb represents the direction of the current then the four finger represents the curl in the direction of the

- Tutorial Exercise An air-filled spherical capacitor is constructed with an inner-shell radius of 6.95 cm and an outer-shell radius of 14.5 cm. (a) Calculate the capacitance of the device. (b) What potential difference between the spheres results in a 4.00-μC charge on the capacitor? Part 1 of 4 - Conceptualize Since the separation between the inner and outer shells is much larger than a typical electronic capacitor with separation on the order of 0.1 mm and capacitance in the microfarad range, we expect the capacitance of this spherical configuration to be on the order of picofarads.
