I would like to know if the shape of the magnetic field around twisted pair insulated wires will be a helical shaped magnetic field if both wires have parallel electrical current running through them.
For example, say that two ends of the twisted pair wires are touched to the positive terminal of a battery and the other two ends of the twisted pair wires are then touched to the negative terminal of the battery so that there will be parallel electrical currents flowing through the two wires.
I have spent the last two days using Google to search the Internet for what the shape of the magnetic field is around twisted pair wires with parallel electrical currents, but so far I have not found any illustrations or drawings of this particular magnetic field, so I am hoping that someone here on Physics.SE will answer this for me.
Do twisted pair wires create a helical shaped magnetic field if parallel electrical currents are run through the two wires?
EDIT
I asked the wrong question concerning my inquiry. The question I should have asked is, "Do magnetic field lines surrounding twisted pair wires follow a helical path along the length of the twisted pair wires if parallel electrical currents are run through the two wires?". I am considering asking this question in a new post.
