explain please! thanks

Explanation / Answer

(part 1 of 3) A long straight wire is aligned north-south and carries current in the northerly direction. What is the direction of the magnetic field created directly above the wire? 2. east right hand rule, point the thumb to north then your fingers ll go to the east. (part 2 of 3) What is the direction of the magnetic field created immediately to the left of the wire? 4. upward same as above (part 3 of 3) If a proton is traveling north directly above the wire, what is the direction of the magnetic force on the proton due to the wire 1. downward left hand rule, your finger point to the north, so your thumb go downward. explain please! thanks
