Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A long straight wire carries a current southward. Determine the direction of the magnetic field at a point east of the wire.
💡 Hint: Use the right-hand thumb rule.
If a solenoid has 100 turns and carries 2 Amps of current, calculate the field strength at the center if the earlier single turn had a magnetic strength of 0.1 T.
💡 Hint: Consider how field strength accumulates with turns.
