Best Answer

The lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field of a current flowing towards you will act in the counter clockwise direction. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. Point your thumb in the direction of the current flowing down the straight wire. The curl of your fingers shows the direction of the magnetic lines of flux. The magnetic field of a current is always perpendicular to it. A current facing away from you would produce magnetic lines of force acting in the clockwise direction.

It is not toward you or away from you but Rather RIGHT HAND RULE thumb if shows the current the curled finger will show flux

Comment

It depends upon whether you are using electron flow (- to +) or conventional flow (+ to -). For electron flow, you can use the left-hand thumb rule; for conventional flow, you can use the right-hand thumb rule -as described above.

The magnetic lines will flow in an anticlockwise direction by right hand screw rule,

if u place ur thumb(the direction of current)towards u, ur fingers will be curling in anticlockwise direction(the magnetic lines)

It's used to determine the magnetic field strength of stars. That's not really a "why", though. I suppose the "why" would be "because they want to know the magnetic field strength of stars".
