Question
Answer the following question:
State the effect on the magnetic needle in Oersted’s experiment when:
(a) the current is passed through the wire.
(b) the current through the wire is increased
(c) the current through the wire is reversed.

Solution
- When a current is passed through the wire, the magnetic needle gets deflected.
- When the current through the wire is increased, the deflection of the magnetic needle increases.
- When the current through the wire is reversed, the magnetic needle is deflected in the opposite direction.
