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
