1) (1) Imagine that in part E8, you had placed the compass due East of the wire. Draw two vector diagrams for the magnetic field(s) felt by this compass: one with the current OFF, and one with the current ON. Each diagram should show individual magnetic fields from any relevant sources, as well as a vector indicating the total magnetic field. For this problem, assume that the current flows upwards (in your drawing, this is out of the page 2. (1) How would the compass in this scenario respond when you turn on the current? Explain your answer.
