What else can I help you with?
Which direction you are facing at the needle of the compass you are holding points directly to your left explain?
If the needle of the compass points directly to your left, it means you are facing north. The needle of a compass always aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, with the red end pointing towards the magnetic north pole and the white (or non-red) end pointing towards the magnetic south pole.
What pole does the needle on a compass always point to?
the north pole
Can a compass needle pointing north end you up in the geographical north pole of earth?
no
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.
What makes the needle on the compass always pointy north?
We know that it is a natural property for a magnet to attract unlike poles Earth itself is a bar magnet..So there is a tiny magnet in the compass which makes it to get attracted to north pole (i.e-Magnetic south pole is Geographic North pole,Magnetic North pole is Geographic South pole)That is -when compass is pointing North pole(magnectically)It is pointing Geographic South pole... Thanks**** Hope it was helpful!!!!
Why does a compass always work?
A compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The needle of the compass is magnetized, pointing towards the magnetic north pole. As long as the Earth's magnetic field remains stable and the compass is not influenced by nearby magnetic objects, it will always point north.
How do you describe how a compass needle aligns itself?
A compass needle aligns itself with Earth's magnetic field, which causes it to point towards the Earth's magnetic poles. The needle behaves like a tiny magnet, with one end pointing towards the magnetic North Pole and the other end pointing towards the magnetic South Pole.
Where would you end up if you followed a compass needle to the north?
If you followed a compass needle pointing north, you would eventually end up at the North Pole, the point on Earth's surface that lies at 90 degrees north latitude.
How compass changes direction?
A compass needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic North Pole. When the compass is moved or rotated, the needle remains aligned with the magnetic field, causing it to change direction accordingly.
A needle on a compass always point to what pole?
The North Pole.Another AnswerA compass needle points to the location called 'Magnetic North', named to distinguish it from 'True North'. Magnetic North is several hundred miles away from True North.
Why does south pole of the compass always point to the north while north pole always points to the south?
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
Why compass neddle show north side always?
ACTUALLY in the north pole of the earth there is a south pole that attracts the north pole of a magnet by MRINMOY SAHA
