Several people have told me that a current-carrying wire usually (or always) repels a nearby permanent magnet....
Most recently, I saw this Veritasium video on YouTube: 'How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work'. At 2:40 to 2:45 of the video, the host says that, 'A wire with current in it deflects nearby magnets'...
But why? Why would a wire with current always, or even usually, deflect another magnet? Rather than attract it?
