a current in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field...?
A current in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic field lines form circles that go around the wire.

Only with Alternating Current (AC). Direct Current (DC) will not form the magnetic field in a straight wire.
The reason for the circular magnetic field is due to the positive and negative field produced by the AC.
