Can a compass be used to determine the exact direction that charge flows in a circuit?

In a DC circuit yes. The compass detects the magnetic field around the wire. Reverse the DC current and the compass will swing 180 degrees from the position is was in.

What measures the flowing in a circuit?
The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.
What is the continuous flow of charge in a circuit?
Most people say electrons (which are negatively charged). Some who are really out there might say it's a flow of holes moving the other direction.
Will a charge exit a circuit with less energy than they had when they entered the circuit?
It makes sense for charge carriers to lose energy in a circuit, but I don't think it quite works that way. For example, a voltage doesn't accelerate an electron or other charge carrier at a single point - rather, the force experienced by the charge carriers would be spread out over a larger area.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit?
Resistance
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
In which circuit does charge reverse direction many times per second?
In an alternating current (AC) circuit, the electric charge periodically reverses direction at a certain frequency. This is in contrast to a direct current (DC) circuit, in which charge flows in one direction only.
The battery determines the direction of flow of charge in a circuit?
Yes
What determine the direction of flow of charge?
Electro motive Force(E.M.F) of a battery determine the direction of Flow of Charges.
What can you determine from an electric field vector at one point?
From an electric field vector at one point, you can determine the direction of the electrostatic force on a test charge of known sign at that point. You can also determine the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted per unit charge on a test charge at that point.
What measures the flowing in a circuit?
The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.
Why do the fuses in your 1996 Chevy S10 keep blowing?
Determine which circuit is involved and then troubleshoot that circuit You should take your truck to Autozone and have them check the charge on your alternator, they do this for free.
Describe how a battery causes electrons to move in a circuit?
The electrons don't actually move the electricity; the charge moves. The electrons slowly drift in the opposite direction from the charge.
Does charge flow through a circuit?
yes charge flow through the circuit
The available source of charge that pushes a charge through a circuit is?
The available source of charge that pushes a charge through a circuit is voltage.
A closed circuit is a circuit in which charge?
Can flow
Does charge flow through a circuit or into a circuit?
Charge flow through a circut
Why current flows from cathode to anode in the internal circuit of a simple cell?
generally electrons will move towards positive charge and conventionally current flows in opposite direction to it
