Put the compass on the table and, with the wire near the compass, connect the wire between the positive and negative ends of the battery for a few seconds. What you will notice is that the compass needle swings.
Initially, the compass will be pointing toward the Earth's north pole (whatever direction that is for you), as shown in the figure on the right. When you connect the wire to the battery, the compass needle swings because the needle is itself a small magnet with a north and south end. Being small, it is sensitive to small magnetic fields. Therefore, the compass is affected by the magnetic field created in the wire by the flow of electrons.

Does electricity flow through wire or around its magnetic field?
Eiectricity flows through wire not around the magnetic field.
How can brain activation produce a magnetic field?
Any material that can conduct electricity can produce a magnetic field. The brain uses tinny amounts of electricity to move messages around itself so the brain produces a very small magnetic field that Medical Doctors using very sensitive equipment may be able to detect
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Earth's magnetic field results from movements in the what?
The Earth's magnetic field results from electric currents in the mantle and outer core around the iron solid core; every electricmagnet is prduced as a result of electricity flowing around a iron core - the same principle works in our own magnetic field.
How can you produce a magnetic field around a cooper wire?
Wrap insulated copper wire several times around an iron nail. Attach one end of the wire to the negative, and the other end to the positive terminals of a battery. The flow of electricity creates a magnetic field that attracts metal until the electricity is switched off.
Does electricity flow through wire or around its magnetic field?
Eiectricity flows through wire not around the magnetic field.
Electricity running through a wire will induce field?
A magnetic field around the wire.
How did electricity and magnetisnm work to gether?
When electricity flows through a circuit then magnetic field is created around it
What does a moving magnetic field generate?
This is field
How does electricity and magnets affect the other?
Electricity is created by a rotating magnetic field captured by a coil. The flow of electrons creates a magnetic field.
Can electricity be produced from a stationary magnetic field?
Yes, by moving the conductors through the magnetic field.
What causes a magnetic field to be produced around a wire?
Current flows through a wire and produces a magnetic field.
What is an iron-containing mineral that has a magnetic field?
magnitite
What is an iron containing mineral that has a magnetic field?
magnitite
Changing a magnetic field generates what?
electricity
Does a wire with electricity going through it have magnetism?
it creates a magnetic field around the wire, so yes
What is the iron-containing mineral that has a magnetic field?
Ferrite and Magnetite bot have magnetic properties.
