A current-carrying straight wire is held in exactly vertical position. H the current passes through this wire in the vertically upward direction, what is the direction of magnetic field produced by it? Name the rule used to find out the direction of magnetic field.

The direction of the current flow is anticlockwise. This can be determined by using Maxwell’s right hand thumb rule.
