Can a electric current be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes,
Can an electric current be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes.
An electric current cannot be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes, it can.
Why does a compass needle move when placed near a wire carrying an electric current?
True... The wire carring current creates a slight magnetic field.

How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
Can an electric current be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes.
Can a electric current be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes,
What do you mean by magnetic affect of electric?
The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.
True or False an electromagnet is created when electric current flows through a compass needle?
The real question should be how do you get current to flow through a compass needle.
Who is known for his research in electricity and magnetism?
Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, he discovered that an electric current could affect a compass needle.
An electric current cannot be used to deflect a compass needle?
Yes, it can.
Can a electric current affect a compass?
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
Is an electromagnet created when electric current flows through a compass needle?
Yes
Is an electromagnet is created whene electric current flows through a compass needle?
no
Who discovered in 1820 that an electric current has a magnetic field?
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) proved electric current can affect a compass needle. However,Oersted could not explain why.
What kind of test can determine that an electric current is flowing in a straight copper wire is connected to a battery?
A compass needle test will determine whether a current is flowing in the wire.IF the current is flowing the compass needle will deflect from alignment with the wire.
