A thick wire is hanging from a wooden table. An anticlockwise magnetic field is to be produced around the wire by passing current through this wire by using a battery.

Which terminal of the battery should be connected to the:

(a) top end of wire?

(b) bottom end of wire?

Give reason for your choice.

(a) Negative terminal

(b) Positive terminal

Because the current should be passed into wire upwards.
