Imagine that in Step E8 of the lab manual, the compass is placed due East of the wire, and the current is going upward. Draw a vector diagram for the magnetic field(s) felt by this compass with the current in the wire OFF. The diagram should show vector(s) representing individual magnetic field for any relevant sources, as well as a vector that represents the total magnetic field at the location. Label the cardinal directions (N,S,E,W) and magnetic field vectors clearly
