The north pole.
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.
the north pole
no
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.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ACTUALLY in the north pole of the earth there is a south pole that attracts the north pole of a magnet by MRINMOY SAHA
