A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
What else can I help you with?
What magnet use in the compass?
non the compass uses the earths magnetic field that is why the north pole and south pole is the most important directions because the north and south pole have the most highest magnetic feilds
Is a compass rose and a compass the same?
No, a compass is a navigational instrument that helps determine direction. A compass rose, on the other hand, is a figure on a map or nautical chart that displays the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and intermediate directions.
Is a compass affected by the earths magnetic field?
Yes, a compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The needle in a compass is magnetized and will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
Can earths magnetic field change directions?
sorry I forgot the answer. dummy!
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?

Is a compass a magnet?
Compass is a device which is used to see directions previously. Compass consists of a Magnet freely suspended . A free Magnet always shows Geographical North and Geographical South. So Compass consists of a Magnet and a Aluminium pointer showing east and West direction.
What do you have to add to a compass to make it in line with the earths magnetic field?
Nothing. That's exactly what a compass does ... as long as it's free to turn, and there are no ferrous metals or other sources of magnetic fields nearby.
Compass magnets can only be deflected by electromagnets such as Earth's magnetic field?
Compass magnets align themselves with Earth's magnetic field due to their own magnetic properties. Electromagnets, like the one found in devices such as phones or microwaves, can create magnetic fields that may interfere with a compass's accuracy if they are strong enough and placed close to the compass.
How a compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of the magnet?
A compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of a magnet by placing the compass near the magnet. The needle of the compass will align with the magnetic field lines, allowing you to visualize the direction of the field. By moving the compass around the magnet, you can map out the shape and direction of the magnetic field.
How many magnetic poles are there on the earths surface?
2
Why is it hard to read a compass when standing at one of the earths poles?
Because the earths magnetic poles move around from year to year, and even day to day.
Is saturns surface magnetic field weaker than earths?
true
