    The magnetic field generated by a current into (X) the screen is...

    • Clockwise

    • Anticlockwise

    Correct Answer
    A. Clockwise
    Explanation
    The magnetic field generated by a current into the screen is clockwise because of the right-hand rule. According to the right-hand rule, if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the current, then the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field. In this case, if the current is flowing into the screen, the magnetic field lines will form a clockwise pattern around the current.

    Where is the north pole created? - ProProfs

    Where is the north pole created?

    • Left

    • Right

    Correct Answer
    A. Left
    Explanation
    The north pole is created on the left side. This implies that the question is asking about the creation or origin of the north pole, rather than its physical location. Therefore, the correct answer is "Left."

    If current is passed through a loop of wire, as shown, which direction will the loop rotate?  - ProProfs

    If current is passed through a loop of wire, as shown, which direction will the loop rotate? 

    • Clockwise

    • Anticlockwise

    Correct Answer
    A. Clockwise
    Explanation
    When current is passed through a loop of wire, the direction of the magnetic field around the wire is determined by the right-hand rule. According to the right-hand rule, if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the current, then the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field. In this case, if we imagine placing our right hand around the loop with the fingers pointing in the direction of the current, the thumb will point in the clockwise direction. Therefore, the loop will rotate in the clockwise direction.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The thumb, in the right hand rule, indicates the direction of the current

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the right hand rule, the thumb is used to indicate the direction of the current. This rule is commonly used in physics and electromagnetism to determine the direction of a magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire. By pointing the thumb in the direction of the current, the fingers can curl in the direction of the magnetic field lines. Therefore, the statement is true.

    To create a force, the magnetic field and the current have to be parallel

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    They should be perpendicular

    Which diagram shows the correct shape of the field?  - ProProfs

    Which diagram shows the correct shape of the field? 

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    Correct Answer
    A. D
    Explanation
    Diagram D shows the correct shape of the field because it has the straightest edges and the most symmetrical shape compared to the other diagrams. The other diagrams have irregular shapes and uneven edges, which would not be ideal for a field.
