Magnetic Effects
What's happening? A current-carrying wire creates a circular magnetic field. B = μ₀I/(2πr). Right-hand rule: thumb = current, fingers = field direction. More current = stronger field!
Why this matters for JEE

Magnetic Effects of Current is a core concept tested across JEE Main and Advanced.

Understanding this concept visually builds the intuition you need to solve numerical problems faster and avoid common mistakes.
