State the rules for finding the direction, when :
(a) A magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current,
(b) The force experienced by a current carrying a straight conductor placed in a magnetic field placed perpendicular to it.
(c) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.
(a) The direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight current carrying conductor is given by the right-hand thumb rule.
(b) The direction of the force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to it is given by Fleming's left-hand rule.
