A horizontal straight wire carries a current from east to west. The resulting magnetic field lines are
A. straight lines perpendicular to the wire. B. closed circles perpendicular to the wire directed counterclockwise as viewed from the east. C. parallel to the wire from east to west.

A boxcar without a front or a back is moving toward the right. Two electrons move through the boxcar, one moving from back to front toward the right, the other moving from front to back toward the left. According to me, each electron is moving with a speed of 0.8c, and the boxcar is moving with a speed of 0.6c. A passenger in the boxcar records how long it takes each electron to pass from one end
of the boxcar to the other end. According to the passenger, which took longer? a. the electron going from back to front b. the electron going from front to back c. They both took the same time. d. Since nothing can go faster than light, an electron cannot move toward the left with a speed of 0.8c through a boxcar moving toward the right with a speed of 0.6c.
