Describe what happens when you hold a compass close to a wire carrying a current?

When a compass is held close to a wire carrying a current, the magnetic field produced by the current will deflect the compass needle. This happens because a magnetic field is generated around the wire due to the flow of current, and the compass needle aligns itself with this magnetic field. The deflection of the compass needle can be used to determine the direction of the current in the wire.
