What is the nature of magnetic field lines when current is passed through a straight conductor.
>> When current is passed through a conductor, a magnetic field is produced.
>> The nature of magnetic field lines formed when current is passed through a straight conductor is in the shape of concentric circles around the conductor.
>> We can find the direction of magnetic field lines by using Maxwell's right hand thumb rule.
>>According to this rule, when we hold a current carrying conductor by our right hand ,the direction of our thumb indicates the direction of current and our fold fingers shows the direction of the magnetic field lines as shown in the fig.
