Question

 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 the wire is increased? Support your answer with a reason.​

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

It the current is increased in the conductor the deflection of the compass needle increases. This is because the strength of magnetic field varies directly as the magnitude of the electric current, or the current passing through the wire.

Answer 2

Answer:

as the magnetic field produced is directly proportional to the current flowing through the wire.

Explanation:

so 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.
