Hw do you make a compass face the wrong way?
To make a compass face the wrong way, you can do so by placing a strong magnet next to the compass needle. The magnetic force of the magnet will overpower the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to point in the opposite direction. Remember that this can temporarily disrupt the accuracy of the compass.

Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?

If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
