Answer

(a) Three methods are:

  1. Passing electric field through a straight conductor/circuit.
  2. Passing electric current through a circular loop.
  3. Passing electric current through a solenoid.

(b) According to Fleming's left hand rule, the direction of magnetic is vertically downwards, as the current is flowing in clockwise direction.

(c) Right hand thumb rule.
