Hans Oersted observed from his experiments that, when an electric current is passed through a conducting wire, a magnetic field is produced around it.
 
If a compass needle is placed in the vicinity of the current carrying wire, the needle of the compass is found to deflect in a definite direction.
 
If the compass needle is placed just above the conductor, the North Pole of the needle deflects towards East when the current is from South to North.
 
 
Here, A to B means South to North.
