The correct option is C b and c
Oersted conducted an experiment to study the magnetic effect of electric current. In this experiment he observed the deflections of a compass needle placed in close proximity of an electric wire carrying current. He observed that in the absence of current the needle came to rest in Earths North-south direction under the influence of Earths magnetic field. However, when the needle was kept below the wire and current was passed from A to B the north pole of the needle deflected towards the west and on reversing the direction of the current from B to A, it deflected towards the east. Similarly, when the needle was kept above the wire and current was passed from A to B the north pole of the needle deflected towards the east and on reversing the direction of the current from B to A, it deflected towards the west. This indicates that the direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of current.
