What direction does a compass needle point if a current carrying wire is wrapped around it?

The compass needle aligns itself parallel to the direction of the lines of magnetic force where it happens to be.
It does not 'point to a particular pole' for that is beyond the sensibility of a simple bar of metal.
I repeat, it aligns itself parallel to the lines of magnetic force ...

How does an inducted magnetic field influence the direction of a compass needle?
The conducting wire wrapped around the compass is energized creating a magnetic field that counteracts the effects of the Earth's magnetic field and changes the direction of the compass needle.
Produced by a coil of current-carrying wire wrapped around an iron core?
It makes an electromagnet.
What is the name of a magnet that has coils of wire carrying current wrapped around an iron core?
"Electromagnet"
When current carrying wire is wrapped around an iron core what can it create?
It creates a magnet and magnetism.
What is a device formed from an iron core wrapped in current-carrying wire?
Its called a ELECTROMAGNET! hopes this helps =)

A device formed from an iron core wrapped in current-carrying wire is?
That can be a 'solenoid' or an 'electromagnet'.
Which law gives the direction of magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor?
The right hand rule. If you were to place your right hand around the conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, your fingers which are wrapped around the conductor will point in the direction of magnetic flux. Said another way, if you are looking at the end of the conductor and current is flowing towards you, then magnetic flux will be counter-clockwise.

What simple rule has been established for finding the direction of magnetic force around a current-carrying conductor?
The right hand rule. If you were to place your right hand around the conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, your fingers which are wrapped around the conductor will point in the direction of magnetic flux. Said another way, if you are looking at the end of the conductor and current is flowing towards you, then magnetic flux will be counter-clockwise.
How is the star and delta timer connector protected?
As are most current carrying components in a control panel, they are protected from grounding out by having insulation wrapped around them.
