What is the fundamental concept explained by Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule in electromagnetism?

• The direction of electric field lines

• The direction of magnetic field lines around a current-carrying wire

• The polarity of a magnetic material

• The resistance of the wire

According to Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule, if you grasp a wire with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current, how are your fingers positioned relative to the magnetic field lines?

• Perpendicular to the magnetic field lines

• Parallel to the magnetic field lines

• Encircling the wire in the direction of the magnetic field lines

• Away from the wire

What is the direction of the magnetic field lines around the wire when the current flows from point A to point B vertically upward?

• Clockwise

• Anticlockwise

• Straight line along the wire

• Radially outward from the wire

According to the right-hand rule, if the fingers of your right hand point in the direction of the current and your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field inside a solenoid, what happens when you reverse the direction of the current?

• The magnetic field outside the solenoid reverses.

• The magnetic field inside the solenoid remains the same.

• The magnetic field inside the solenoid reverses.

• The solenoid stops conducting electricity.

What does the right-hand rule illustrate in the context of a solenoid?

• The relationship between voltage and resistance.

• The relationship between current flow and magnetic orientation.

• The calculation of the solenoid's inductance.

• The heat generated by the solenoid.

What is depicted by the arrows marked "Current I in" and "Current I out" in the diagram?

• The direction of the magnetic field lines.

• The flow of current through the solenoid.

• The points of highest electrical resistance.

• The areas where the magnetic field is weakest.

What happens when two magnetic poles of the same type are brought close to each other?

• They attract each other

• They cancel each other out

• They repel each other

• No effect is observed

What is observed when a conductor is placed within the lines of magnetic flux and current moves away from us?

• Magnetic flux lines from the conductor and magnets align

• A force is produced on the conductor

• The conductor becomes demagnetized

• The magnetic flux lines become straight

How do unlike magnetic poles interact when brought close to each other?

• They repel each other

• They attract each other

• They have no interaction

• They neutralize each other's effect

What is the phenomenon called when a wire carrying a current interacts with a magnetic field, causing a force that pushes the wire at right angles?

• Electromagnetic induction

• Motor Effect

• Lorentz Force

• Magnetic Resonance
