Question

what is the ampere swimming rule?

Answer 1

Hi,

Ampere’s swimming rule is for finding direction of magnetic field.

The rule states that

"If a man swims along the wire carrying current such that his face is always towards the magnetic needle with current entering his feet and leaving his head, then the north pole of the magnetic needle is always deflected towards his left hand."

Hope this helps,

Good luck.

Answer 2

Answer:

according to ampere ,if we imagine a man swimming with his head in the direction of current in the conducting wire and facing toward the needle then the North pole of the magnetic needle will be deflected toward his left hand.

this is known as ampere swimming rule.this rule can also be remembered with the help of the word 'SNOW'. it means that if current is flowing from south to north direction then the North pole deflected toward east.
