Does a compass use a magnetic force?
A compass does not "consume" energy as such. It just align according to the magnetic field of the Earth. One end will point North and the opposite End will point South. Note that the Geographic North and South are different from the magnetic North and South. A compass as in the simple ones with a metal pin giving direction, will always point to the Magnetic North.

How does a compass determine the directions?
The term "compass direction" means a direction shown by a magnetic compass, one whose needle will be drawn to a north-south alignment. When at a location and facing a certain direction, the "compass direction" is the one at the top (front) of the moving compass rose. If a location is in that direction, it is the indicated compass direction from the current point.On a map, the direction from one point to another is indicated by the up-down and left-right line between the points, and the compass directions are indicated by a compass rose on the map.
When and where was the compass invented?
