To find the magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current, we use Maxwell's Right-Hand thumb rule.

According to this rule, imagine that you are holding a current-carrying wire in your right hand so that the thumb points in the direction of the current, then the direction in which the fingers wrap the wire will represent the direction of magnetic lines of force.
