This is FALSE. TWICE!
The Earths magnetic Field is not Electromagnetic.
A compass can be deflected by any Magnet.

What kind of magnets do magnetic levitation trains use?
Electromagnets
What is the different electromagnets and permanent magnet?
Electromagnets are non permanent magnets. They got magnetic field because of applied electric field. They lost their magnetic field which was around that, when the applied electric field is stopped. permanent magnets have magnetic property always with it. Permanent magnetic property loses when we heat the material. It cannot be regained once again. But electromagnets are capable of regaining its magnetic properties.
Are there magnets in a compass?
Yes. The magnets help the pointer point to your direction because of the magnetic eaths inner core
When were magnets used the first?
Vikings and Ancient egyptians were known to use magnetic rocks 'Lodestone' as simple magnetic compass'.
How are electromagnets different from magnets?
You can turn electromagnets on and off.
What is true of compasses?
Compasses are navigation tools that indicate direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. They consist of a magnetic needle that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field to point towards the North and South poles. Compasses are reliable and do not rely on external power sources, making them useful in various outdoor activities.
What is true compasses?
They only point to the Magnetic NorthA compass is a permanent magnentA compass is a permanent magnet. A compass has both a south pole and a north pole. Compass magnets can be deflected by Earth's magnetic field or other permanent magnets.
What are the types of magnets?
Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.
What kind of magnets do magnetic levitation trains use?
Electromagnets
What are the uses of magnets and electromagnets daily?
induction motor (in washer for example), compass, speaker
What has the author T B Montgomery written?
T. B. Montgomery has written: 'Design of magnets and electromagnets' -- subject(s): Magnetism, Electromagnets, Magnets, Magnetic devices

What is true about compasses?
There are several different types of compass:magnetic compass, uses a light weight bar magnet on a pivotgyroscopic compass, uses a gyroscope (either mechanical or LASER ring)drawing compass, used to assist in drawing circles for drafting or artetc.
What is affected by electromagnets?
Other magnets, as well as magnetic substances such as iron, in which magnetism is induced by the external magnetic field.
Permanent magnets and electromagnets both hold their magnetism for a long period?
the answer is false Permanent magnets will hold their magnetism for a long period of time. Electromagnets will only remain magnetic as long as current is flowing through them.
Are there magnets in a compass?
Yes. The magnets help the pointer point to your direction because of the magnetic eaths inner core
Are electromagnets used in cameras?
Camera magnets are actually electromagnets; the magnetic field on an electromagnet is only there when you need it. They work like magnets everywhere else do; they are used in place of springs.
