A magnetic compass is placed 10 cm away from a simple circuit consisting of a battery, light bulb, switch, and a wire. When the switch is moved
to the on position, the bulb lights up and you notice that the compass needle deflects 5 degrees to the west. If the switch was moved to the off
position, what would you predict to occur?
