The front face of a circular wire carrying current behaves like a north pole. The direction of current in this face of the circular wire is: a) clockwise b) downwards c) anticlockwise d) upwards

Answer:

The correct option is c) anticlockwise

The front face of the circular wire (or coil) is the South pole if the current flows clockwise around it (S-pole). The current flow in the circular wire is anticlockwise and works as a North pole.
