FULLY EXPLAINED ANSWER :
- When electricity (conventional current) flows in a long straight wire it creates a circular or cylindrical magnetic field around the wire according to the right-hand rule. ... If the fingers of the right hand are curled in the direction of the circular component of the current, the right thumb points to the north pole.
- Some would claim that there is only one right-hand rule, but I have found the convention of three separate rules for the most common situations to be very convenient.
- These are for
- long, straight wires,
- free moving charges in magnetic fields, and the solenoid rule
- which are loops of current
