Question

A current is flowing in a loop that is in the plane of the page and creates a magnetic field. The magnetic field inside the loop points out of the page. What direction does does the current flow in: Clockwise, or counterclockwise?

Answer 1

Answer:

COUNTER CLOCKWISE

Explanation:

As per the rule for finding the direction of magnetic field in the closed loop is given by right hand rule

So we need to curl the fingers of right hand along the direction of current then the direction of magnetic field is along the direction of the thumb.

So here it is given that magnetic field points out the page so the electric current must be in counter clockwise direction

So correct answer will be

COUNTER CLOCKWISE
