    Magnetic field strength increases when the current is increased. Magnetic field strength is stronger near the current and weaker further away. Direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor depends on the direction of current flow but the pattern of The Magnetic Field remains unchanged.

    CHAPTER 3: ELECTROMAGNESTISM

    The Pattern and Direction of the Magnetic field Due to a Current

    The Magnetic Field Due to a Current in a straight Wire The Characteristics of the magnetic field produced by a current flowing in a straight wire: a) The magnetic field lines form a pattern of concentric circles b) The magnetic field strength increases when the current is increased c) The magnetic field strength is stronger near the current and weaker further away d) When the direction of current is reversed, the direction of the magnetic field reverses too e) The direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor depends on the direction of current flow but the pattern of the magnetic field remains unchanged

    To determine the direction of the magnetic field
