When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?

This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...

Where is perfect deflect on Star Wars?
It deflects the bullet directly back at whoever shot it.
Can a lightsaber deflect a kamehameha?
most likely not. The kamehameha is really big, but the lightsaber is made out of plasma so I don't know.
How do you defeat the gunship on the tram in level two of star wars force unleashed II?
When the gunship fires missiles at you block them and that will defeat it. You have to deflect the missiles about 5 times to destroy it.
Who would win deathsroke or Iron Man?
iron man in an instant! because deathstroke has all of those guns but they would deflect off of iron man cause u no hes made of iron
What deliberately distorts natural light patterns in movies?
A white screen can be used to deflect natural light patterns. Certain filters can also be used on the camera to change the effects of natural light and some changes can be made digitally in post production.

Yes, it can.
Can tap water deflect compass needle?
Yes because tap water is a good conductor of electricity.
How will you locate a current carrying wire concealed in a wall?
because we take a compass which needle is deflect
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.
How do you show that electric current causes magnetism?
Put a wire carrying an electric current near a compass and it causes the needle to deflect.
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is places within a magnetic field?
A compass needle, as well as everything else on Earth, is ALWAYS within a magnetic field. If the compass needle is free to turn, it will align itself with the magnetic field, and point along the north/south axis of the field. If another magnetic field source appears near the compass ... such as a current-carrying electrical conductor, or a toy magnet in somebody's pocket ... whose field strength is comparable to the Earth's, then the compass will deflect, and realign itself along the north/south axis of the SUM of the fields.

Can a electric current affect a compass?
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
Does a radio alter a compass reading?
The pointer on a compass is magnetic. The speakers and transformers a radio put out magnetic fields that WILL deflect the direction that the pointer points. - wjs1632 -
