Question

2. A magnetic compass shows a deflection when placed near a current carrying
wire. How will the deflection of the compass get affected if the current in
wire is increased? Support your answer with reason.
​

Answer 1

Magnetic field (B) produced by current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through the wire. If the current is increased then the magnetic field produced is stronger and vice-versa. So, deflection in the compass will be more when the current flowing through the wire will be increased

Answer 2

Answer:

Nothing happens

Explanation:

If the current flows the needle gets deflected

And if current is increased the needle also get reflected only the range is increased
