Given:
The current in the current-carrying conductor is flowing towards you.
Required:
The direction of magnetic lines of force.
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of magnetic lines of force can be determined according to the right-hand thumb rule.
Right-hand thumb rule:
The thumb should point in the direction of the current, then the curl of fingers will point in the direction of magnetic lines of force.
When the thumb points in the direction of current (towards you), then the curl of the fingers will be in the counter-clockwise direction.
Final Answer: The direction of magnetic lines of force are in the counter-clockwise direction.
