The vertical wire kept in the Z-X plane carries a current from Q to P (see the figure). The magnetic field due to current will have the direction at a origin O along
OX
OY
As we learned
Maxwell's Cork Screw Rule -
It states that if a screw is placed in the direction of current through a conductor then the direction of rotation of the screw gives the direction of the magnetic feild.
