How does a magnetized needle work?
The magnetic field of earth exerts a torque on the needle, pulling one end or pole of the needle toward the Earth's North magnetic pole, and the other toward the South magnetic. The needle is mounted on a low-friction pivot point, in better magnetized needle a jewel bearing, so it can turn easily. When the magnetized needle is held level, the needle turns until, after a few seconds to allow oscillations to die out, one end points toward the North magnetic pole.
