trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Magnetic field lines point clockwise around an electric current.
the verdict
OVERSTATED
true in a weaker form than the claim states
refutedsupported
the weight of evidence
no sources on either side

The relationship between electric currents and the directional orientation of surrounding magnetic field lines is a fundamental law of physics (Ampère's right-hand rule) and constitutes basic common knowledge that does not require citation.

what the evidence does support

Magnetic field lines follow a circular path around an electric current, with their direction determined by the right-hand rule.

The analysis

The claim describes the direction of magnetic field lines around an electric current according to the right-hand grip rule. This is a foundational, universally accepted principle of electromagnetism taught in introductory physics, making it common knowledge. Under the instructions, common knowledge claims require no citations and are designated with the COMMON_KNOWLEDGE verdict with empty index arrays.
