For clarification: Are you thinking of the electrons in the wire (i.e. when the current is zero and when it is non-zero), or are you thinking of an electron moving through the field (i.e. at rest 1 m away from the wire or 1 m away and moving but both cases with the same current in the wire)I was instead interested in the asymmetry that arises as the electrons start to move *in comparison with* the case when they stand still.
