Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2009 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

If the direction of the curent in a straight wire is reversed, the magnetic field
Answer Details
When an electric current flows through a straight wire, it generates a magnetic field around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field is dependent on the direction of the current flow. If the direction of the current flow is reversed, then the direction of the magnetic field will also be reversed. Therefore, the correct answer is: the magnetic field is oppositely directed.
