A current through a horizontal power line flows in east to west direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point directly below it and at a point directly above it?
The current is in the east-west direction.
Applying the , we get that the magnetic field (at any point below or above the wire) turns in a plane perpendicular to the wire, when viewed from the east end, and , when viewed from the west end.
