Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the relationship between the current and the magnetic field generated by an electromagnet is:

The current generates and is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

In the scenario described, the current flowing in the wire creates a magnetic field around it, and the direction of this magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current. In this case, the magnetic field lines are represented as concentric circles around the wire, which is characteristic of how magnetic fields behave around a straight current-carrying conductor.
