Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Describe how you can experimentally verify Oersted's findings using a simple circuit and compass. What observations should you make?

💡 Hint: Think about how a compass works in relation to magnetic fields.

Question 2

If you were to double the current flowing through a wire, how would the magnetic field at a point 0.1 m away change according to Oersted's findings?

💡 Hint: Consider how current directly affects the magnetic field's intensity.
