a circle. using your right hand, if you point your thumb in the direction of the current, your fingers will curl around the wire in the shape of the magnetic field.

Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.
A current in a long straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic field lines?
The magnetic field lines are arranged circularly around the wire.
How do you know when a wire has current flowing through it?
You can measure with a multimeter. Alternately, you can check for a magnetic field around the wire.You can measure with a multimeter.

Does ac current produce magnetic field?
Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.
A magnetic field around a current carrying wire forms?
concentric circles around the wire
Can a dc electric field produce magnetic field?
Yes. A steady current will produce a magnetic field, B= uI/r
What is produced around a wire that has a current?
Magnetic field.
Is there a magnetic field around current carrying conductors?
yes.magnetic field present around the conductor.current and magnetic fields are inter related..with current we can produce magnetic field and vice versa
Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.

In a current carrying conductor what exist around it?
a magnetic field
The magnetic field around an atom is the shape of?
In an electric current.
How electric current causes magnetic field around conductor?
Electric current causes magnetic field around conductor by producing a moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of an elementary particles that is associated with a fundamental quantum property.
Will magnetic field is produced when current is passed through a thick conducting sheet?
Yes,,,a current carrying conductor wil produce magnetic field around it.
Can direct current produce magnetic flux?
Moving electrons always have a magnetic field around them
What is the relationship between magnetic fields and electricity?
-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.
How will you describe the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire?
the magnetic field gets stronger with increasing distance from the wire
