"Circles around the wire that go in at the top of the screen and moves in a counterclockwise direction."
Reason: use the right-hand rule — point your thumb to the right (direction of current); your fingers curl around the wire, giving circular magnetic field lines that go into the page at the top and out of the page at the bottom, and circulate counterclockwise when viewed from the right.
