Question:

How do you use the right-hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field produced by a wire and a solenoid?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

You can use the right-hand grip rule to find the direction of the magnetic field produced by a wire by making a thumbs-up motion, where the thumb points in the direction of the conventional current and the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field. Use the right-hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field produced by a solenoid by placing your fingers in a first so they point in the same direction as the conventional current, while your thumb points in the direction of the north pole.
