- The electric current-carrying conductor has the ability to produce the magnetic field around it in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the electric current flow.
- The current-carrying conductor acts like a magnet and it is also known as an electromagnet.
- Hans Christian Oersted gave the magnetic property of a current-carrying conductor.
EXPLANATION:
- Oersted’s experiment: Hans Christian Oersted was a Danish scientist who explored the relationship between electric current and magnetism.
- The wire will carry a current that creates a magnetic field around itself. Bringing the compass near the wire or in the loop will cause the compass needle to move.
- The current had produced a magnetic field strong enough to cause the compass needle to turn.
So option 2 is correct.
