During an atmospheric discharge experiment, a heavy vertical copper conductor is mounted on a test tower as shown in the diagram below.
A large conventional current, III, flows vertically upwards through the conductor.
State whether the direction of the magnetic field lines around the conductor is clockwise or anticlockwise when viewed from directly above the conductor.
