Frequently Asked Questions

In 1820 Hans Christian Oersted saw a compass needle move each time he sent a current through a nearby wire. A compass needle is a small magnet, so the current had to make a magnetic field. Compass Deflection Near a Wire Carrying Current has students graph needle angles against current and distance.
