3) A wire runs above the ground, carrying a large current. In the picture shown below, the current comes out of the page. K The Long Wire, Viewed head on The Ground A) If you stand on the ground directly underneath the wire, which way will a compass point? (Ignore the field of the Earth.) B) The wire is sagging downward. You realize that by using additional magnets, you can counteract the force of gravity on the wire, so that it doesn't sag. What direction magnetic field will be required to do this? (Hint: a current is just moving charge!) C) Show how to position bar magnet(s) near the wire to accomplish your answer from part B. (If you don't have an answer for part B, just guess a direction so you can get credit here.)
