As current travels through a wire it generates a magnetic field.
|This is the traditional way of demonstrating the right-handed rule.
The thumb points in the direction of the current. The fingers show
the direction of the magnetic field as it goes around

|Our diagram demonstrate the same concepts. Here the red spheres
demonstrate the flow of electricity through the wire while the blue arrows
demonstrate the direction of the magnetic field
