Hello
I've always been taught take the direction of the current and see if you can make the letter N or S. If you can make an N, that is the north pole and then draw the magnetic field lines going from that pole to the other (N to S). Now that i've done a couple of questions on this, i've come to find out that there are opposing viewpoints on this or something? Am i doing something wrong? VCAA answers on a question like this follows the rule i meantioned earlier. Kilbaha on the other hand draw the field lines in the opposite direction.
A quick 'magnetic field lines around a solenoid' google search confirms this conflict.
Help?
Edit 1: Nvm... i get it.
It just depends upon whether the electric line goes over or under...
I answered my own question. lol
Edit 2: Guess VCAA have been kind to students so far as in not tricking students by drawing the current going over and under. As in out of the page then into the page.
God.. it's difficult explaining magnetism on paper.
