Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. A current-carrying circular loop and a current-carrying straight wire create very different magnetic fields in the empty space that surrounds them. Even so, the curl of at a distance r from the center of the loop along its axis and the magnitude of the curl the same distance r from the wire’s center have the same numerical value.
