Oersted’s Experiment Diagrams: Compass Deflection by Currents and Charges #3494640 (License: Personal Use)

Panels A-D depict compass behavior near charged conductors, with arrows indicating field direction and polarity labels (+/-). Panels E and F show compass deflection due to current flow in a wire loop, illustrating Oersted’s discovery that moving charges produce magnetic fields. Each diagram includes directional arrows and labeled poles (N/S) for clarity.

Used in physics education to teach electromagnetism fundamentals, especially Oersted’s experiment and the relationship between electricity and magnetism; ideal for textbook figures, lecture slides, and online science resources.
