Explanation:
The compass needle moved when the wire was connected to the battery. The important point here is that the needle is affected by the wire only when both ends of the wire are connected to the battery because only at this time is current flowing through the circuit.
Answer:
The current in the circuit increases
Explanation:
The ohm's law states that the potential across a circuit is proportional to the current in the circuit.
V ∝ I
Where 'V' is the potential difference across the circuit and 'I' is the current in the circuit.
The proportionality constant present in the equation is the resistance of the circuit. Hence, the equation becomes
V = IR
According to the equation, when V is directly proportional to 'I' where 'R' remains as constant, then the change in 'V is brings change in 'I' to make the equation valid.
So, when there is an increase in the voltage, the current on the circuit increases.
