The compass needle would align itself with the direction of the current flow.
Placing a magnetic compass in an electric circuit would interfere with its ability to accurately point to the Earth's magnetic north. The magnetic field generated by the electric current in the circuit would cause the compass needle to deflect from its normal orientation.
The needle of the compass will align itself with the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet due to the flow of electric current in the coil. The compass needle will point in the direction of the magnetic field lines, which are generated by the current passing through the coil of the electromagnet.
To make a simple galvanoscope, you would need a horseshoe magnet, a thin wire, a small compass needle, and a stand. The wire is wound around the magnet, and the compass needle is suspended in the coil of wire. When an electric current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field that deflects the compass needle, allowing you to visualize the current.
If battery terminals are brought near a compass, the magnetic field produced by the flow of current in the battery can interfere with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to deviate from its normal orientation. This can lead to inaccurate readings on the compass.
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 ...
Electric current produce magnetic fields. However, in the case of AC (alternating current, usual in households), the current changes so quickly (and the current has an average value of zero) that I am not sure the effect on a compass would be visible to the naked eye.Electric current produce magnetic fields.

If the power lines were Direct Current, sometimes used for efficient long distance transmission, then your compass would definitely be affected, and may be quite useless. The high currents in such a long distance DC line will generate a magnetic field. With an Alternating Current power line, the alternating current itself should not cause any problem with the compass, but the steel of the towers themselves may certainly do so.
The Kobayashi Maru. Spock created it to test how Cadet's would respond to a no-win scenario.

if you lived east from your current location, you would go left of the red arrow. you would go right of the red arrow if you lived west of your current location. if you lived north of your current location, you would go toward the red arrow. and finally if you lived south of your current location you would go opposite of the red arrow.
This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...
Yes, the needle would point perpendicular to the wire, and parallels to the magnetic lines of the wire. Another answer The above answer would be correct IF you were dealing with a DC circuit AND there was a load on the circuit, but house wiring uses Alternating Current, and the compass needle would attempt to reverse directions at the rate of 60 cycles per second. Effectively, the needle would simply act strange when it's near house wiring, IF there is a current load on the wire. ++ To add to that, use a proper cable-locator, not a compass.

It can be either one, depending on your meaning. You would "respond to" a question or comment directed at you. You would "respond for" someone else who cannot respond for themselves.
