A compass needle normally points toward earth’s magnetic pole, which is near the north pole. Which best explains why the needle moves away from the pole when it comes close to a current-carrying wire?.

Magnetism surrounding the wire draws the needle toward the wire.

Explanation:

The wire itself has it's own magnetism also, that's why, if you put a compass near it, then the compass will get confused and point the wrong direction.

Thanks!
