Direction of magnetic field inside a solenoid:

Answer: From south to north inside.

  • A From south to north inside
  • B From north to south inside
  • C Radially outward
  • D Circular

Correct answer: A. From south to north inside

Explanation: Inside a solenoid, field lines run from south to north (from one end to the other, along the axis).

Magnetic Field Lines Around a Straight WireIfield forms concentric circles around the wire (right-hand rule)

The magnetic field around a long straight current-carrying wire forms concentric circles, with direction given by the right-hand rule (point thumb along I, fingers curl in the direction of B).

Concept context

Magnetic force on moving charges and currents, the Biot-Savart law, Ampere's law, and the cyclotron - how electric currents create and respond to magnetic fields.
