I have an after-market compass in my Forester, but it likely works the same. It needs a certain number of turns of the vehicle to establish where everything is and start working properly again. It does this automatically, noting is required of the driver except to drive. You can hurry this along by driving around the block a few times. --Ken

What are the materials you need to make a battery tester?

You can make two types of battery testers.The easy one is with a light-bulb.You need: 2 wires, a light bulb, a fuse, and a battery to test.If you attach the positive terminal of the bulb to the cathode of the battery, and the negative terminal of the bulb to a fuse and then the fuse to the anode of the battery, you may judge the battery's capacity based on the brightness of the bulb.(Note: If it does not work, replace the fuse or try without a fuse, the fuse is in case the bulb explodes, which rarely happens. Otherwise, you have a dead battery.)The hard way is the compass way.You need: a long wire, a compass, and a battery to test.Wrap the wire around the compass but leave the two ends open. Connect the two ends to the anode and cathode of your battery. Judge the battery capacity based on the speed of the spinning needle in the compass.(Note: if it doesn't work, wrap more wire around the battery compass, use a stronger wire, otherwise the battery is dead.)I, who improved it, am the same person who wrote the answer, I just realized that I wrote battery instead of compassafter I published my answer, so I improved it after I finished.

Why was the compass important?

The compass was a important invention, made by the Chinese, because it helped travelers find there destination if they were lost and could be very useful in many different problems. They also most likely have a compass on ships.


What would happen if battery terminals were braught near a compass?

The compass would point south, except near positive end of the magnet. It will point north. 6th grade power!!


How can you see the magnetic field form around wires containing electricity?

Put the compass on the table and, with the wire near the compass, connect the wire between the positive and negative ends of the battery for a few seconds. What you will notice is that the compass needle swings. Initially, the compass will be pointing toward the Earth's north pole (whatever direction that is for you), as shown in the figure on the right. When you connect the wire to the battery, the compass needle swings because the needle is itself a small magnet with a north and south end. Being small, it is sensitive to small magnetic fields. Therefore, the compass is affected by the magnetic field created in the wire by the flow of electrons.


What kind of test can determine that an electric current is flowing in a straight copper wire is connected to a battery?

A compass needle test will determine whether a current is flowing in the wire.IF the current is flowing the compass needle will deflect from alignment with the wire.

What is a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass?

Open the compass to a width greater than half the length of AB.Place the compass point at A.Draw arcs above and below the line AB.Move the compass point to B WITHOUT changing the compass setting.Draw arcs above and below AB to intersect them at X and Y.Join XY.XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.7. Celebrate the successful completion of the task!


What are some problems using a drawing program and not a compass and straight egde?

You might not understand angles and shapes as well with a drawing program, even though it requires a little bit more effort with a compass and straightedge. You would just create shapes without understanding how they were made or what the postulates and theorems and stuff mean. To sum it up, each have their own problems and advantages, but using a compass and a straightedge lets you see deeper into the way shapes and angles work :) ugh I hate using a compass and straightedge in geometry lol :)>


What will a magnet do to an iPhone?

well it will stuff up your compass, but the iphone uses flash memory; non magnetic storage, thus it will not wipe any data. it wont cause any problems, just wreak havoc with your compass :)
