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.
Why is the magnetic compass so important?
why was a magnetic compass so important
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

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
What does a magnetic compass do?
It uses a magnetic needle to point to the earth's magnetic North Pole. The only other type of compass used is a gyro-compass. This uses a wheel which rotates parallel with the earth's rotation.
Why was the magnetic compass replaced?
because i pooped on it.

What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
Is gyrosyn compass a combination of magnetic compass and artificial horizon?
No,a Gyrosyn compass is a combination of a Magnetic compass and Direct reading compass.

When was the navigational compass invented?
The first compass was invented around 247 B.C. in China and by the eleventh century it was used for navigation. In medieval Europe around 1300 the dry compass was invented and was replaced by the liquid filled magnetic compass in the early twentieth century. A compass is a navigational instrument which is used for determining the direction related to the Earth's magnetic poles......by shaheer iqbal

Which invention is more important the astrolabe or the magnetic compass why?
In my opinion I think the magnetic compass is more important because It made worldwide travel easier and encouraged more exploration.
