What did Humphrey Davy notice about a wire with electricity running through it as he brought it near a compass?
The compass needle was deflected.
What happens when a compass is palced near a current carrying conductor?
If the conductor is carrying AC, no effect. If the conductor is carrying DC, then the compass needle will be deflected. Provided the two are close enough, and the DC current is strong enough.
How far do you need to keep a magnet from a compass?
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
What would happen if battery terminals were braught near a compass?
The compass would point south, except near positive end of the magnet. It will point north. 6th grade power!!
Does a compass work best when close to magnet?
No. Being near a magnet (or magnetic field) completely puts off the compass as the compass is influenced by it and will not align with the Earth's natural magnetic field.

What happens when charged object are brought near uncharged objects?
the electric-charge interaction occurs when a''charge'' object is near another ''charge'' or ''uncharde''object
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.
What happens when 2 like charges are brought near each other?
They repel one another.
What happens when two positive charges are brought near each other?
the field lines bend away from the other change
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
