What are the conclusions of Oersted 's experiment

Explanation :
An electric current flowed along a straight wire, then the magnetic field it produced would be in the same direction. So they placed their compass needles at right angles to the wire, thinking they would be deflected by the current so that they became parallel to the wire. They saw no effect because, as Oersted was to show, the magnetic field produced is at right angles to the wire. So preconceptions prevented earlier experimenters from seeing the effect. (Note that the available equipment –voltaic piles, typically – would only produce a small current, so the effect would in any case have been very weak.)
Conclusion :
Oersted's experiment showed that electricity and magnetism are related. He observed that a current carrying wire produces a magnetic field. If you keep a compass needle next to a current carrying wire, it would show deflection.
