When a wire has current running through it, a magnetic field is created around it, right? And I've seen lots of diagrams of the magnetic field lines wrapped around a wire in a coil-like fashion.
So, hypothetically, imagine if there was a current running through a wire, and that wire was suspended in a room that was free of any gravity.
Would metal shavings orbit around that wire in the same direction as the magnetic field lines?
