MediumState the direction of the magnetic field in the following case:
(N/A) To determine the direction of the magnetic field,we use Fleming's Left-Hand Rule.
According to Fleming's Left-Hand Rule,if we stretch the thumb,forefinger,and middle finger of our left hand such that they are mutually perpendicular to each other,then:
$1$. The forefinger points in the direction of the magnetic field.
$2$. The middle finger points in the direction of the current.
$3$. The thumb points in the direction of the force on the conductor.
In the given figure,the current is directed towards the left and the force on the conductor is directed upwards.
By applying Fleming's Left-Hand Rule,we find that the magnetic field is directed out of the page (towards the observer).

Describe in short an activity to:
$(i)$ demonstrate the pattern of magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor, and
$(ii)$ find the direction of the magnetic field produced for a given direction of current in the conductor. Name and state the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying conductor. Apply this rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside a current-carrying circular loop lying horizontally on a table. Assume that the current through the loop is anticlockwise.
