How are Magnetic Fields Produced by Electrical Currents?

When discussing historical discoveries in magnetism, we mentioned Oersted’s finding that a wire carrying an electrical current caused a nearby compass to deflect. The compass needle near the wire experiences a force that aligns the needle tangent to a circle around the wire. Therefore, a current-carrying wire produces circular loops of magnetic field. To determine the direction of the magnetic field generated from a wire, we use a second right-hand rule. In RHR-2, your thumb points in the direction of the current while your fingers wrap around the wire, pointing in the direction of the magnetic field produced.

How to Calculate Forces on Current Carrying Wires?

Forces on Current Carrying Wires calculator uses Force = Magnetic Flux Density*Electric Current*Length of Conductor*sin(Angle between Vectors) to calculate the Force, The Forces on Current Carrying Wires formula is defined as magnetic field exerts a force on a current-carrying wire in a direction given by the right hand rule 1 (the same direction as that on the individual moving charges). This force can easily be large enough to move the wire, since typical currents consist of very large numbers of moving charges. Force is denoted by F symbol.
