Why does the north end of a magnet attract to the north end of the world?
answer 2 This common observation is due to confusion.Since the North Pole of the earth was well known of in early times, we may say that the field there is the North Pole. By convention.On my compass, one end of it points to the North Pole [well not quite, but we'll pass on] and this end of the compass should be called the North Seeking Pole, or the North Pointing Pole. It should NOT be called the North Pole of the compass.Knowing the laws of magnets as we both do, we know that the North Seeking Pole of my compass must be in fact a south pole of a magnet.Reverting to the [ ... ] comment above. Your compass, and mine as well, do NOT point to the North Pole. The needle aligns itself with the lines of magnetic lines of force at the place where I am.You can show this for yourself with the 'iron filings' experiment.o Place a couple of magnets at least 10 cm apart, if you can get the demo to work at 20cm so much the better. Strong magnets are worthwhile.o Lay a sheet of stiff paper above the magnets and sprinkle it with iron filings in the classic manner. You should now see the curved lines of force between the magnet poles demonstrated by the iron filings.o Move your compass about the magnetic field as demonstrated by the pattern of the filings.Provided your compass needle does not overwhelm the magnetic field between the magnets, you should see that the compass needle folllows the lines of force.
How does a compass needle align itself?
A compass needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field because it is a magnet itself. The north-seeking end of the needle is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north pole, causing it to point in a north-south direction.
How does the magnet work in a DVD players?
There are magnets in the motor that spins the disk, and there are magnets that move the reading head (laser) in and out on the disk as it plays. They are electromagnets - they only work if an electrical current is applied to the coil of the magnet.

2 magnets
What kind of metals are attracted to magnets or can be made into magnets?

What is the a compass in math?
In math a compass is an object used to draw accurate circles and arcs (parts of circles, or curves). In math, a compass is something that makes a circle and it also measures circumference. How to make a circle: A compass either has led in it or you stick a pencil in it, but it depends on what kind of compass it is. If you want to make a big circle, you expand the 2 sides. when you get it to the size you want, you stick it on paper and twirl it around. It may not be a perfect circle but it most likely will be close.
