A student observes that a compass needle deflects when brought near a current-carrying wire. Using your understanding of magnetic fields, explain why this happens.
A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field that exerts a force on the compass needle.
The wire heats up, causing air currents to move the needle.
The wire produces an electric force that acts on the compass needle.
The wire causes a gravitational effect moving the needle.
Correct answer
A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field that exerts a force on the compass needle.
