Question

Using the right-hand rule, when the thumb points in the direction of the current, the fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field.

true or false

Answer 1

Historically, this is true.

However, if the "current" is defined as the direction that electrons are travelling, it isn't. The difference occurs just because an electron has a negative charge. I only mention this (at the risk of confusing you) so that you can make sure you are looking at the correct situation.
