Best Answer
Current through a conductor forms a magnetic field.

The "Right Hand Rule" will tell you the direction: Point the thumb of your right hand along the conductor in the direction of current flow (from negative to positive) and the fingers of the right hand curl in the direction of the magnetic field force lines.
