ppefmhEdGarstin1/2The diagram shows two circuits. A compass placed near each circuit would deflect due to the magnetic field.
  • Circuit A
  • Circuit B

  • If we increase the distance between the compass and the circuit, then the deflection of the compass will decrease. This is because the strength of the magnetic field decreases with distance from the wire carrying the electric current.
  • If we increase the distance between the compass and the circuit, then the deflection of the compass will increase . This is because the strength of the magnetic field increases with distance from the wire carrying the electric current.
