In the following figure, you are looking at the end of a long straight wire. The current in the wire is directed out of the page. At the point labeled $\Lambda$, is the direction of the magnetic field left, right, up, down, into the page, or out of the page? What is the direction at point B? Explain. (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
