If a compass is put underneath the wire

Reference no: EM13680121

A long, straight, current-carrying wire runs from north to south.

1. A compass needle placed above the wire points by its N-pole toward the east. In what direction is the current flowing?

2. If a compass is put underneath the wire, in which direction will the compass needle point?
