Magnetic field lines around a current-carrying straight conductor are concentric circles with their centers on the wire.
Explanation:
- The magnetic field's strength is determined by the current flowing through the conductor.
- According to Maxwell's Corkscrew Rule, if you hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand, the direction in which your fingers encircle determines the direction of magnetic lines. Maxwell's right-handed corkscrew rule, determines the direction of magnetic field lines of force around a conductor. It also depends on the current's direction of travel in the conductor.
- This can easily be understood by using a compass to determine its direction.
