When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire, the of the right hand must point in the direction of the current.

The thumb of the right hand must point in the direction of the current.

Explanation:

The right hand rule is used to find the direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. In this rule, it is consider to hold a current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb shows the direction of current. The curled finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

For example, if the current points in northward direction, then the direction of magnetic field is in anticlockwise direction.

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.

that would be b i just took the test : )
