A plane is flying due north. An electrical wire is suspended horizontally directly above a compass. The wire is aligned in a north-south direction and produces a 3.33 X 10^-6 T magnetic field. Calculate how much from due north the compass needle will be deflected? The Earth's magnetic field is 2.0 X 10^-5 T. Answer angle = 9.46°
