Mona was doing an experiment with a magnetic compass and a straight current-carrying wire. She observed that as she moved the compass away from the current-carrying wire, the deflection of the compass needle reduced.
A. Explain why the deflection of the compass needle reduced as Mona moved away the compass needle from the current carrying wire.
B. Mention one thing that could have changed in the circuit of the wire that could increase the deflection of the needle.
C. Explain with reason what will be the direction of the magnetic field associated with the wire for the case described by the above figure.
