Why does a compass needle change direction when it is near a magnetic field?
Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.
How could you magnetise a needle to make your own compass?
Rub the needle across a magnetic surface...always in the same direction, don't go back and forth. This will magnetise the needle. Then float the needle in a dish of water. And presto you have your own compass
Why is the magnetic compass so important?
why was a magnetic compass so important
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

Plants with a magnetic force?
Compass plants respond to Earth's magnetic field, but do not produce their own magnetic force.

What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
Is gyrosyn compass a combination of magnetic compass and artificial horizon?
No,a Gyrosyn compass is a combination of a Magnetic compass and Direct reading compass.
List the cause and effect connections between the Chinese invation of the Magnetic compass and Zheng He's voyage?
The cause is the Chinese invention of the magnetic compass. The effect is the voyage of Zheng He. The invention of the magnetic compass allowed Zheng He to make his voyage.
What magnetic fild do you detect when you go hiking?
You don't but your compass does: it's the Earth's own magnetic field's polarity and direction.

A compass is a scientific instrument used to locate what?
A compass is a scientific instrument used to locate the north magnetic pole. The magnetic changes in the Earth's core make the north magnetic pole move over time.
