What happens to the compass needle when current in the wire is switched off?
It will return to pointing North.
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.
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.

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)
How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
What will happen if you put a compass next to an electromagnet that is switched?
the compass's needle will point at the electromagnet
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.

Yes, it can.
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.
Is an electromagnet created when electric current flows through a compass needle?
Yes
