Field lines of a conductor with magnetic needles

Experiment no.: 6.3.4
Feldlinien eines Leiters mit Magnetnadeln
Magnetic needles attached symmetrically around a current-carrying conductor orient themselves tangentially to the magnetic field lines. When the current is reversed, the direction of the needles reverses with it.
Comment: The video shows a slightly different set-up.
