Question
State and explain Maxwell’s Cork Screw Rule.
Solution
Maxwell’s Cork Screw Rule:
Imagine a right handed cork screw placed parallel to a current carrying conductor such that when it is rotated, it advances in the direction of the current. Then the direction in which the thumb rotates gives the direction of the magnetic lines of forces.
