Question

at some distance away from a long, straight current - carrying wire, in what direction does the magnetic field point? in the radial direction away from the wire perpendicular to both the current and the radial direction in the radial direction toward the wire in the direction of the current

Explanation:

According to the right - hand rule for a long straight current - carrying wire, the magnetic field lines are circular around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field at a point some distance away from the wire is perpendicular to both the current direction and the radial direction from the wire.

Answer:

Perpendicular to both the current and the radial direction
