To have an active magnetic field you must have a reasonably fast rotation speed, and a molten metal core. The earths moon has neither of these, so the answer is No, the moon doesn't have a magnetic field of any kind.

What is the magnetic strength of moon?
The moon does not have a dipolar magnetic field and its external magnetic field is quite weak when compared to that of the Earth.
Does the moon have a stronger magnetic field than the earth?
Venus does not have a magnetic field.
Does the moon have a magnetic pole?
The Moon has a solid core, and therefore has no magnetic field or poles.
Is the moon a source of earth's magnetic field?
No. The source of earth's magnetic field is the molten inner core. The moon due to its proximity of course influences our magnetic field but it is to be considered a "weak effect".
Does the moon Triton have a magnetic field?
No.
If magnetic compass does not work on moon Why electric motor work on moon?
No because the Moon does not have a magnetic field like the Earth does. The Earth's magnetic field appears to be created by a liquid metalic out core circulating around a solid core. This works like a dynamo which creates the magnetic field around the Earth. The Moon lacks a similar core stucture. This is also the reason why the Monn has no atmosphere.A magnetic compass would not work on the moon, for the moon does not have the magnetic field that the earth has, allowing us to use this device.No, because moon does not have magnetic force like earth
Who determined the source of the earth's magnetic field?
The moon
Why doesn't the moon have a magnetic field?
Venus does not have a magnetic field because its rotational period is very slow. This means that if its core had a liquid metal component, it would not be moving fast enough to generate a field.
What is missing on the Moon from lack of liquid core?
The magnetic field.
Where is Saturn's moon titan located?
Saturn's moon "Titan" is located in Saturn's magnetic field.
How the Magnetic needle stands on Moon Is it North and south just like on earth?
The moon does not have a magnetic field, so a compass would not point in any particular direction, unless it was being used close to a rock or minieral that was naturally magnetic. According to Nineplanets.org, the moon may have had a magnetic field at some time in the distant past, but no longer. For more info, try http://www.nineplanets.org/luna.htmlAnswer Since the Moon has nearly no magnetic field, it wouldn't be much good at all.
Why would we not expect magnetic fields on the moon or mercury?
You might, but that would be wrong! Mercury has a strong magnetic field.
