Meena draws magnetic field lines of a field close to the axis of a current-carrying circular loop. As she moves away from the centre of the circular loop,she observes that the lines keep on diverging. How will you explain her observation?

(N/A) The strength of the magnetic field decreases as the distance from the centre of the current-carrying loop increases.
This decrease in the strength of the magnetic field is represented by the increasing divergence (or decreasing degree of closeness) of the magnetic field lines as one moves away from the axis.

Describe in short an activity to:
$(i)$ demonstrate the pattern of magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor, and
$(ii)$ find the direction of the magnetic field produced for a given direction of current in the conductor. Name and state the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying conductor. Apply this rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside a current-carrying circular loop lying horizontally on a table. Assume that the current through the loop is anticlockwise.
