Re: mc cable
Yes, all conductors will have magnetic fields, but not enough to be concerned about.

Re: mc cable
If you are thinking that the loop of extra wire is like a coil; No.

Re: mc cable
No. The current is flowing both ways due to the two conductors being together which cancels the field out. If this were not the case you could measure the current flowing through the cable by simply putting a clamparound ampmeter on the cable.
