The shape of magnetic field lines around a current carrying wire.
Answer to Problem 7RQ
The shape of magnetic field lines around a current carrying wire is in concentric circle.
Explanation of Solution
When the intrinsic moment of the elementary particles in the magnet spins, then the magnetic field is produced around the magnet. The
The imaginary lines drawn by the marking of the direction indicate by the magnetic compass around a current-carrying wire in the shape of concentric circles, these lines are known as the magnetic lines.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the shape of magnetic field lines around a current carrying wire is in concentric circle.
