Assume the magnetic field declination at your location is 22 degrees east of north. How should you orient a current carrying wire near a compass so that the compass will point directly toward geographic north, assuming the wire produces a field strong enough to deflect the compass? The wire should be horizontal and placed north of the compass. The wire should be horizontal and placed east of the compass. The wire should be vertical and placed north of the compass The wire should be horizontal and placed west of the compass.
