Task 3: Oersted, Faraday &Lenz's Laws 1. A long straight current-carrying wire runs from north to south. A compass needle is placed above the wire points with its Npole toward the east. In what direction is the current flowing? If a compass is put underneath the wire, in which direction will the needle point? 2. A single straight wire produces a magnetic field. Another wire is parallel and carries an identical current. If the two currents are in the same direction, how would the magnetic field be affected? What if the currents are in the opposite direction
