Question

state and explain properly maxwell right hand thumb rule

Answer 1

Here is your answer!

The Maxwell right hand thumb rule indicates the direction of the magnetic field in a direction of current. If the thumb of the right hand points along the direction of current, then the remaining curled fingers of the same hand gives the direction of the magnetic field due to the current. When the position of the thumb will be upward, the curled fingers will be anti-clockwise and the magnetic field will be anti-clockwise too and vise versa.

Answer 2

Right hand thumb rule was given by Maxwell. So this rule is also known as Maxwell’s right hand thumb rule. According to this rule, imagine that you are holding a current carrying wire in your right hand so that the thumb points in the direction of the current, then the direction in which the fingers wrap the wire will represent the direction of magnetic lines of force.
