With the wire back at its initial location, you connect a second identical battery in series with the first one. When you close the switch, how does the new angle of deflection of the north pole of the compass needle compare to its initial deflection

Answer:

It is larger

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the answer would be "It is larger" since v = 2v (since it's in series), which would increase the magnetic field and thus produced a bigger angle.
