1. Based on what was observed in the Oersted experiment: Do the experiment at home using the following materials: a compass, a conducting wire and any 1.5 V battery. With the photos you will evidence his experiment. Warning: Never leave the circuit connected for a long time because it can catch fire and the conductive wire, being short-circuited, increases its temperature very quickly and can burn. Only connect for a few seconds long enough to observe the experiment. 2. Show through a graph or a brief description of how to use the "law of the right hand" to determine the direction of the magnetic field that is produced when a current flows through a conductor.

Question
1. Based on what was observed in the Oersted experiment:
Do the experiment at home using the following materials: a compass, a
conducting wire and any 1.5 V battery. With the photos you will evidence his
experiment. Warning: Never leave the circuit connected for a long time
because it can catch fire and the conductive wire, being short-circuited,
increases its temperature very quickly and can burn. Only
connect for a few seconds long enough to observe the experiment.
2. Show through a graph or a brief description of how to use the "law of the
right hand" to determine the direction of the magnetic field that is produced
when a current flows through a conductor.
