Question
What is the direction of the magnetic field at the indicated locations inside and outside this current-carrying rectangular coil of wire in Figure $17.75 ?$ Explain briefly. (The direction of conventional current is shown.)
Step 1
According to the right-hand rule for magnetic fields, if we curl our right-hand fingers in the direction of the conventional current (clockwise in this case), our thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field inside the coil. So, the magnetic field Show more…

A coil is moved through a magnetic field as shown below. The field is uniform inside the rectangle and zero outside. What is the direction of the induced current and what is the direction of the magnetic force on the coil at each position shown?
What is the direction of the magnetic field above and below the current-carrying wire below, where the current is flowing in the +x-direction? Explain how you got your answer.
Figure 23.59 A coil is moved into and out of a region of uniform magnetic field. A coil is moved through a magnetic field as shown in Figure 23.59. The field is uniform inside the rectangle and zero outside. What is the direction of the induced current and what is the direction of the magnetic force on the coil at each position shown?
