About this clipart
The image displays six labeled configurations (A-F) demonstrating the magnetic field generated by electric currents in straight and U-shaped conductors. Each setup includes a compass whose needle aligns with the local magnetic field direction, showing deflection dependent on current flow (indicated by arrows) and conductor geometry. These diagrams illustrate Oersted’s discovery and underpin foundational electromagnetic theory.
Used in physics education (high school or introductory college courses) to teach electromagnetism, magnetic fields, and the right-hand rule; supports lesson plans, textbooks, and online tutorials explaining how current produces magnetism.
