The magnetic field associated with a current carrying straight conductor is in anticlockwise direction, if the conductor was held along the east-west Direction. What will be the direction of the current through it ? Explain in DETAIL, how you used the Right hand thumb rule to get the direction of current.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IN 100 WORDS

Hey there this is your answer...!!!
According to the right hand thumb rule if we hold the current carrying conductor in the right hand such that the thumb points in the direction of flow of current then the fingers indicate the direction of the magnetic field lines which is always anticlockwise.When the conductor was held horizontally in east west direction , the direction of current is from east to west because it is given that the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying straight conductor is in anticlockwise direction.
hope this helps you....!!!
Answer:
When the conductor was held horizontally in east west direction , the direction of current is from east to west because it is given that the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying straight conductor is in anticlockwise direction.
The right-hand rule imposes the following procedure for choosing one of the two directions. With the thumb, index, and middle fingers at right angles to each other (with the index finger pointed straight), the middle finger points in the direction of c when the thumb represents a and the index finger represents b.
