What determines the pattern of the magnetic field generated by a current through a conductor?
Type of conductor
Length of the conductor
Material of the conductor
Direction of current flow
Answer and Solution
Answer
D. Direction of current flow
Solution:
The pattern of the magnetic field generated by a current through a conductor is determined by the direction of current flow. The magnetic field lines form based on the orientation of the current. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Direction of current flow'.
