Compass magnets can only be deflected by electromagnets such as Earth's magnetic field?
This is FALSE. TWICE!The Earths magnetic Field is not Electromagnetic.A compass can be deflected by any Magnet.
How a compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of the magnet?
The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.
What happens to a compass when it is brought near a current-carrying wire?
the compass aligns with the magnetic field created by the wire
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.
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
A compass needle points northward due to earths?
magnetic field
Compass magnets can only be deflected by electromagnets such as Earth's magnetic field?
This is FALSE. TWICE!The Earths magnetic Field is not Electromagnetic.A compass can be deflected by any Magnet.
A device that uses the Earths magnetic field to indicate witch way north is?
A compass.
How does the magnetism in the compass work with the magnetism of earth so that the compass is a useful tool for navigating?
The magnetic needles of the compass align with earths magnetic field coming off the polar ice cap.
How a compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of the magnet?
The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.
How a magnetic compass can be used to find directions on Earths surface?
A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
What happens in earths interior produce earths magnetic field?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
What happens to a compass when it is brought near a current-carrying wire?
the compass aligns with the magnetic field created by the wire
What do you have to add to a compass to make it in line with the earths magnetic field?
Nothing. That's exactly what a compass does ... as long as it's free to turn, and there are no ferrous metals or other sources of magnetic fields nearby.
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.
Where does the convection that causes earths magnetic field?
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
What may cause a compass needle to point to a television rather than earths magnetic north pole?
The television or something in it must be generating a magnetic field.
