Detailed Solution

The right-hand thumb rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor.
The right-hand rule states that "If a current carrying conductor is held in the right hand with the thumb pointing towards the direction of the current flow and the other fingers are placed curled around the conductor then the curled fingers indicate the direction of the magnetic field due to current carrying conductor". This rule gives the direction of the magnetic field of the current-carrying conductor.
