Detailed Solution

The other name of Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule is Maxwell's corkscrew rule. 

According to this rule, when a corkscrew is driven in the direction of a current, the direction in which we rotate its handle shows the direction of the magnetic field.

Question Image

The right-hand thumb rule, in which the direction in which the right thumb points is taken as the direction of the electric current in a current-carrying conductor and the direction in which the fingers curl around the thumb is taken as the direction of the magnetic field, is identical to Maxwell's corkscrew rule.
