प्रश्न
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.

उत्तर
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.
