Question

What is difference in direction of magnetic field around a current carrying coil while observing from below or above the conductor

Answer 1

On observing below, if the current is flowing in closck-wise direction, then the pole is south and direction of magnetic field is inwards i.e., flowing towars inside the coil. On the otherhand, on observing above, if the direction of current is anti-clockwise, then it will act as a south pole and the magnetic field direction will be outwards from the coil
