Concept explainers
How does the direction in which a current-carrying wire is forced when in a magnetic field compare with the direction that moving charges are forced?
To explain: The direction of force for a current carrying wire placed ina magnetic field
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The second right thumb rule states that the thumb represents the current’s direction and wrapped fingers represent the produced magnetic field‘s direction.
Explanation:
When a current carrying wire is forced in a magnetic field, its direction is similar to that direction in which the moving charges are forced.
Conclusion:
They are forced in the same way.
