Bringing a compass near a wire that has an electric current.

Reason: Ørsted’s experiment showed a current-carrying wire deflects a nearby compass needle, demonstrating electricity produces a magnetic field. (Moving a magnet into a coil demonstrates electromagnetic induction, discovered later by Faraday.)
