Concept explainers
To Describe: The direction of the current in a wire by two ways.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When
The direction of the current can be determined by finding the direction of the magnetic field using a compass and them using the Maxwell’s right hand rule to determine the direction of the current.
Another method is to use a strong magnet. The current carrying wire in the influence of the magnet will experience force. The direction of the current then can be determined by using Fleming’s left had rule.
Conclusion:
The direction of the current can be determined by finding the direction of the magnetic field using a compass and them using the Maxwell’s right hand rule to determine the direction of the current.
Another method is to use a strong magnet. The current carrying wire in the influence of the magnet will experience force. The direction of the current then can be described by using Fleming’s left-hand rule.
