1. determine the direction of the magneticfield of the current-carrying wire.
upward, downward, into the page, or out ofthe page?
2. as the current in the wire increases, themagnetic field around the wire increases in magnitude withoutchanging its direction. does this affect the flux through the loop, and if so, how?

a. as the magnetic field of the wire increases, the flux throughthe loop increases as well
b. as the magnetic field of the wireincreases, the flux through the loop decreases.
c. as the magnetic field of the wire increases, the fluxthrough the loop remains steady
