Explanation: A magnetic field is a term used to describe the area around a magnet in which the influence of the magnetic forces are felt. A typical example of the influence of a magnetic field can be observed when a particular permanent bar magnet attracts all the charged particles to its self. The charged particles include iron etc.

the higher the current the higher the mag field around it the higher the influence on the compass
