a wire perpendicular to the screen carries a current in the direction shown. what is the direction of the magnetic field at point z? up down left right

a wire perpendicular to the screen carries a current in the direction shown. what is the direction of the magnetic field at point z? up down left right

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply right - hand rule

Curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the magnetic - field lines around the current - carrying wire. Point your thumb in the direction of the current (out of the screen in this case).

Step2: Determine field direction at point Z

As you curl your fingers around the wire, at point Z, the magnetic - field direction is to the left.
