Q149 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (22 May Shift 2) · Physics

Current flows in a conductor from east to west. The direction of the magnetic field at a point below the conductor is towards

A
North
Correct answer
B
South
C
East
D
West

Solution

From the figure, the direction of magnetic field at a point below the conductor is towards south.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
