Question
The compass needle is displaced away from the straight wire.

Answer

  • $(1)$ Deflection of the compass needle changes.
  • Because the direction of the magnetic field due to a current is dependent on the direction of the current and hence the deflection of the compass needle changes.
  • $(2)$ Deflection of the compass needle at a given point increases.
  • Because magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the amount (magnitude) of current.
  • $(3)$ Deflection of the compass needle for a given current decreases.
  • Because magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
