How could you change the direction in which a compass needle points using a cell and a piece of wire?
The compass will react to magnetic fields, and magnetic fields are caused by currents. Therefore, holding a current-carrying wire close to the compass is enough to change the direction in which it points.The compass will react to magnetic fields, and magnetic fields are caused by currents.

When glass stopper in a bottle is stuck it may sometimes be loosened by holding the neck of the bottle under a hot water faucet explain the physical principle responsible for this observed phenomenon?
With a few exceptions (notably melting ice) objects expand when heated. If you run hot water on a bottle neck, the heat is applied directly to the bottle and only indirectly to the stopper inside the bottle, so the bottle heats first, and thereby expands sooner than the stopper does. An expanded bottle will exert less pressure on the stopper.

What is the correct way to use a pocket compas?
Pocket compasses are great. First thing to do is to make sure that you are not holding the compass near a metal belt buckle or any other metal object. Metal belt buckles have caused many people to wander off in the wrong direction. The metal will effect the needle on the compass. Hold the compass in front of you. Line up the north arrow and the "N" on the compass card. That is the part that has all the compass points on it. N, S, E, W. Then turn your body until the direction that you need to travel on the compass is in front of you while keeping the North arrow lined up with the "N" on the compass card. Then look in the direction that the compass directs you and pick an object in the distance that lines up with your direction of travel. You may now put the compass away and travel to that point or object. Then re-do the steps over and pick out a new object in the distance. This will keep you going in a straight line. Just looking at the compass all the time will cause you to walk a lot farther than you need to and you may even miss where you want to go.

How do you reset compass on 1997 olds bravada- no owner's manual?
THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE MANUAL FOR 97 OLDS BRAVADA THAT I OWN....The compass is self-calibrating, so it does not need to be manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also place the compass in a non-calibrated mode by pressing and holding the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the compass will display C and you can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete 360 degree circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph, and the compass will function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the compass will return to a compass reading
