Determine the direction in which a compass needle will point when held above a wire with positive charges moving west?
The compass needle will point north-south.
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.
Can an electric current be used to affect a compass needle?
Yes. Any electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field.
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.

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.
Compass needle move when a current switched on?
this is because of magnetic field formed when the current flows through it. this is called electromagnetism. if we move the compass needle away from current carrying conductor or wire it returns to its position (north south position)
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
What happens to the compass needle when the current in the wire is switched?
It will return to pointing North.
Can an electric current be used to affect a compass needle?
Yes. Any electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field.
What happens to the compass needle when current in the wire is switched off?
It will return to pointing North.
