The direction of the magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor can be determined by:
A. Fleming's Left-Hand Rule
B. Faraday's Law
C. Fleming's Right-Hand Rule
D. Right-Hand Thumb Rule

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Maxwell's Right-Hand Thumb Rule states that if you imagine holding a straight current-carrying conductor in your right hand such that the thumb points in the direction of the current, then the direction in which your fingers wrap around the conductor represents the direction of the circular magnetic field lines.

The frequency of a source of sound is 500 Hz. The number of vibrations it makes in 2 minutes is
A. 60000
B. 1000
C. 500
D. 30000

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Frequency = vibrations per second. 500 vibrations per second. In 2 min = 120 s, total vibrations = 500 × 120 = 60,000. Simple multiplication.
