→Direction of the magnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire: Spelling, Grammar, and General Cleanup
To determine the orientation of the magnetic field caused by a current-carrying wire, point your right thumb in the direction of the current, as if the current is running "through" your thumb. Keeping your thumb in that orientation, curl your fingers around the wire. The magnetic field follows the circular path of your fingers.
