Question

a wire has a current that flows to the right. which describes the magnetic field produced by the current? straight lines along the wire to the right moving the same direction of the current straight lines along the wire to the left moving the opposite direction of the current circles around the wire that go in at the top of the screen and moves in a counterclockwise direction circles around the wire that go in at the bottom of the screen and moves in a clockwise direction

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to the right - hand rule for a current - carrying wire, the magnetic field lines form concentric circles around the wire. When the current flows to the right, using the right - hand rule (curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the magnetic field with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current), the magnetic field circles around the wire. If we assume the wire is in the plane of the screen and current is to the right, the magnetic field goes into the screen at the top and is counter - clockwise.

Answer:

circles around the wire that go in at the top of the screen and moves in a counterclockwise direction
