X Magnetic effects of currents [Conceptual Question with solution)

Question: Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam, moving horizontally from back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic field to your right side. What is the direction of magnetic field? Solution: Here , An electron beam, moving horizontally from back wall towards the front wall so, the direction of current will be in the opposite direction i.e. horizontally from front wall towards the back wall or towards us. The direction of the deflection of [EMF] is towards our right. Let us use left hand Flemings rule: Adjust center finger point towards us (I) and thumb towards right side (EMF) then our forefinger will point in downward direction (MF) Question: A current through a horizontal power line flows in east to west direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point directly below it and at a point directly above it? Solution The current is in the east-west direction. Applying the right-hand thumb rule, we ge...
