In Hans Oersted’s experiment, why did a compass needle move when an electric current flowed through a nearby wire?

Answers

Answered by rahulnswamy

Answer:

this is because of the property of some metals where, when electricity passes through it, it creates a magnetic field. This is also how electromagnets are made. So the compass needle reacted to the magnetic property of the wire.
