Question

The magnetic lines of force around a current-carrying straight conductor are in the form of:

  1. Coaxial cylinders
  2. Concentric circles
  3. Parallel lines
  4. Concentric spheres

hintHint:

Magnetic lines of force or magnetic field lines can be used to visualise the magnetic field that surrounds a current-carrying conductor.

The correct answer is: Concentric circles


    The magnetic lines of force around a current-carrying straight conductor are in the form of concentric circles.
    • When the current is in the straight center, the conductor holds it perpendicular.
    • The center of the conductor forms the first circle of the magnetic field.
    • The straight current-carrying conductor forms the magnetic fields in concentric circles.
    • Magnetic lines of force or magnetic field lines can be used to visualise the magnetic field that surrounds a current-carrying conductor.
    • A straight current-carrying conductor's magnetic field lines have the shape of concentric circles, with the centre located at the conductor's axis.
