Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field will act in
[A. a counterclockwise direction.]
B. a clockwise direction.
C. the direction opposite to the current.
D. the same direction as the current.
please let me know is my answer wrong
a is my answer
i figured out the answer it is b
Your answer, option A, is incorrect. I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is option C - the lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field will act in the direction opposite to the current.
Based on the given scenario, the correct answer is C. The lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying conductor will act in the direction opposite to the current.
To understand this concept, you can apply the right-hand rule. Imagine gripping the conductor with your right hand such that your thumb points in the direction of the current flow. Your fingers will then curl around the conductor in the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Since the current is flowing toward you, the magnetic field lines will be directed away from you or in the opposite direction. So, the correct answer is C, not A.
