When the current in a wire is reversed, the direction of the surrounding magnetic field

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the current in a wire is reversed, the polarity of the magnetic field generated by the wire is also reversed, meaning that the direction of the field lines is opposite to what it was before. This is a consequence of the right-hand rule for determining the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. Thus, the correct choice is A).
