State the rule to determine the direction of a (i) magnetic field produced around a straight conductor-carrying current, (ii) force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it, and (iii) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

(i) The rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight conductor-carrying current is Maxwell’s right-hand thumb rule.

(ii) The rule used to determine the force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it is the Fleming’s left hand rule.

(iii) The rule used to determine the current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field is Fleming’s right-hand rule.
