Now that you’ve verified there’s current through the electromagnet, uncheck the Show Electrons box. This action turns off the electrons. (The current is still there; we just don’t see it.) Check the Show Compass box. Move the compass to the bottom right side of the coil. Does the electromagnet affect the compass needle?
