Consider a circular loop of wire lying in the plane of the table. Let the current pass through the loop clockwise. Apply the right-hand rule to find out the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside the loop.

(N/A) According to the right-hand thumb rule,if you curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the current (clockwise),your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field inside the loop.
Inside the loop: The magnetic field lines point into the table (downward).
Outside the loop: The magnetic field lines emerge out of the table (upward).
This is consistent with the behavior of a magnetic dipole where field lines enter the loop from one side and emerge from the other.
