Question

Problem 20a

Answer 1

Given information

Two wires are carrying a current are parallel to each other

Now, we need to determine the current direction in the lower wire.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

By using the Right-hand rule if we stretch the thumb, forefinger, and center finger of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other such that the forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field and thumb is along the direction of motion of the conductor, the center finger will point in the shows direction of induced current.
