Does the compass needle change direction if the flow of electricity in the wire near it is reversed?
true
How far do you need to keep a magnet from a compass?
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
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 do waves change direction when they are near shore?
The reason they change direction near shore is because the density of objects increase!

When a compass pointing north will point in a different direction when placed near a piece of metal Which causes this to happen?
The needle in compasses is magnetic and is drawn to the Earth's magneticism in the North. When the needle is placed near a metal, as all magnets are, attracted to metals.

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.

The answer is true.
Why would a compass change from pointing north to south?
Perhaps you are holding it the wrong way around or you are standing near a powerful magnetic field.
Does the compass point directly to the magnetic North if the compass is located near a large metal object?
Depends what the metal is made of: an iron object will deflect a magnetic field, but not an aluminum one.
How do you find out if iron is a metal?
One method is to use a magnet. If the metal is iron, the magnet will be attracted.
