It will return to pointing North.

Which describes how a compass works?
. The south magnetic pole of the compass points to Earth's north magnetic pole.
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 does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
The needle on a compass is always pointing to what pole?
The north pole.

How does a compess work?

Tool for drawing a circle?
Compass. Needle point with adjustable gauge and pencil holder.

How do you divide a circle in to 6th equal parts?
If you have a protractor: Draw a line from the center of the circle to the outside (radius), then measure 60 degrees and draw another line. If you have a compass: Draw a circle using the compass, then, using your compass, place the compass needle on the edge of the circle, draw another circle (KEEP THE RADIUS THE SAME). Your two circles should have two intersection points. Place the needle on one of the intersection points and repeat the process. I suggest you look at:
What is the job of a compass?
To find where is someone placed, based on the compass' needle, which is always pointing to the magnetic pole of the Earth, that is the North. That provides orientation to the person since he has a map along with him.
Do compass needles pointing to direction considered as contact force?
No, magnetism (the force that makes the needle turn) is a non-contact force.
Why Magnetic compass inoperative at the poles?
the fieldlines are pointing straight down. If your compass could rotate when held up (instead of lying flat on a table), the needle would point downwards.
