what is the use of maxwell's corksew rule
Answers
Explanation:
Maxwell's corkscrew rule & Magnetic Effects of Electric Current Q & A. Image: Imagine driving a corkscrew in the direction of current then the direction of turning of its handle gives the direction of magnetic field lines. It is used to find the magnetic field in a circular loop and straight wire carrying current
We know that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it. The nature of magnetic field around a straight current carrying conductor is like concentric circles having their center at the axis of the conductor (as shown in the figure at right). The direction of these circular magnetic lines is dependent upon the direction of current. The density of the induced magnetic field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the current.
Direction of the circular magnetic field lines can be given by Maxwell's right hand grip rule or Right handed cork screw rule.
