What is the thing that helps the needle move freely in a compass called?
From an Engineering standpoint, it is called a BEARING. In a cheap compass it is a simple PINPOINT in the Base, and a CUP on the bottom of the Needle.
Why does a needle of a compass move when you put a bar of metal close to it?
The compass needle is a magnet and as you have probably tried, a magnet will 'stick' to an Iron bar. Thus as you move the compass near the Iron, its magnetic field lines are bent by the Iron and become locally stronger than the field lines of the planet, deflecting the needle away from 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
When a flows in a wire a compass needle near the wire will move?
The wire will move due to magnetic forces got from the compass needle since its a good conductor of electricity.

Why does the needle on a compass move when placed in the coil of wire?
It moves because it wants to have compass babies with raccoons and so it won't get high it move and that is it giving birth

Compass needle move when a current switched on?
this is because of magnetic field formed when the current flows through it. this is called electromagnetism. if we move the compass needle away from current carrying conductor or wire it returns to its position (north south position)

What is the magnet in a compass?
The compass needle.
What is the circuit's total resistance?
You take the wire(s) that are in the circuit and place it on on a compass. Hold the compass still and the needle in the compass will move. However far that the needle is turned will detrmine how much resistance is in the circuit. (You know you have done this correctly if the needle in the compass spins counter clockwise.) Hope this helps you out :)
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed with 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
