Question 13 • Physical Science

Which is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire?

Answer
A
magnetic field
B
electron flow
C
solenoid
D
electromagnet

Explanation

An electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field around the wire. A solenoid is a coil of wire, while electron flow describes the current itself; an electromagnet is typically made using a current-carrying coil or wire with a magnetic core. So the correct choice is magnetic field.
