Question
What is the shape of a current-carrying conductor whose magnetic field pattern resembles that of a bar magnet?
Solution
The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying solenoid is similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet. Therefore, the shape of the given current-carrying conductor is solenoid.
