A horizontal compass is placed 0.26 m due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 42 A current downward. Assume the horizontal component of the Earth's field at this point is 0.45E-4 T. In what direction does the compass needle point at this location? Give your answer as a decimal fraction of degrees west of north.

Lab Scenario: You don't have a current meter in your underequipped lab. So you make one out of a compass. The wire you want to measure the current in is aligned with the North South line. You place your compass directly under the wire at a distance of 10cm from the wire. With no current flowing, the compass needle points due north. When you turn on the current, the compass needle points 5 degrees west of north. You now have...
