Understand the relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields

Suppose a straight current-carrying conductor is hung vertically, and an electric current is flowing from north to south, i.e. from up to down. In this situation, the direction of the magnetic field will be clockwise. And if the same current is flowing from south to north through the same conductor, the direction of the magnetic field will be anti-clockwise.

The direction of the magnetic field in electric current through a straight conductor can be represented by using the Right-Hand Thumb Rule.
