Factors on which the magnetic field produced by a straight current-carrying conductor depends:
- Current in the conductor: The magnitude of the magnetic field produced is directly proportional to the current passing through the wire.
- Distance from the wire: The magnitude of the magnetic field produced is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
The Right Hand Thumb rule gives the direction of the magnetic field.
