When the current is sent up thewire from A to B, the wire twists or windsitself around the magnet in a left-hands spiral, that is, so that the current cir-\ culates around the magnet anti-clock-wise as viewed from the N-pole current, therefore, tends to increasethe magnetism of the magnet and thelines of force of both are in the samedirection. When the current is reversed,the tinsel unwinds and again twistsmagnet in
