Expert Solution
(a) magnetic field lines around a magnetic bar

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Field lines are directed from north to south

(b) magnetic field lines around a current carrying straight wire

Physics homework question answer, step 2, image 1

The current is flowing in the upward direction and hence the magnetic field lines are circles in a plane perpendicular to the length of the wire. The files lines are in the anti-clockwise direction
