Consider a circular loop of wire lying in the plane of the table

Q. No 1: Consider a circular loop of wire lying in the plane of the table. Let the current pass through the loop clockwise. Apply the right-hand rule to find out the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside the loop.

Ans: In the following diagram the current is flowing clockwise. If we are applying right hand thumb rule to the left side of the loop then the direction of magnetic field lines inside the loop are going into the table while outside the loop they are coming out of the table. If we are applying right hand thumb rule to the right side of the loop then the direction of magnetic field lines inside the loop are again going into the table while outside the loop they are coming out of the table.
