Question

(Figure 1) shows a long, straight current-carrying wire running perpendicular to the plane of the figure. The current produces a magnetic field that points to the right at position P.

1) In what direction does the magnetic field point at position S?

A. To the left.

B. To the right.

C. Out from the figure toward the viewer.

D. Into the figure out from the viewer.

Explanation / Answer

direction of magnetic field at P gives the direction of current which is into the plane.

so at Q, H is to left.
