A sample question with the answer

1. A compass needle near a wire swings when a current is switched on. What does this show?
  1. A current makes the wire glow
  2. The compass loses all of its magnetism forever
  3. The wire is made of iron
  4. A current produces a magnetic effect
Answer: D) A current produces a magnetic effect
Oersted's experiment: a current-carrying wire makes a magnetic field around it, which turns the compass. The wire need not be iron and the compass is not damaged; the field exists only while current flows.
