(iii) How will you find the magnetic polarity at the ends of a solenoid, without using a magneticneedle? |

Answer» rule for electrons since they go in the opposite direction to the current). To do this, point your right thumb in the direction that the current travels in the coiled wire in the solenoid and curl your fingers.* The direction your fingers point will determine the direction of the magnetic field created by the current. Alternately the right-hand-grip rule is easier to use with solenoids. If you wrap your fingers in the direction of the current traveling in the solenoid, your thumb will point in the direction of the North Pole of the magnetic field**. The solenoid itself is simply a coil of wire with no directional components (e.g. a diode), so it can simply be reversed in the circuit to generate the magnetic field in the opposite direction, or you can reverse the direction of |
