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.
Does the compass needle change direction if the flow of electricity in the wire near it is reversed?
true
Direction tool used in real life compass?
compass needle?
Which describes how a compass works?
. The south magnetic pole of the compass points to Earth's north magnetic pole.

What direction is a red needle attracted to in a compass?
north
How does an inducted magnetic field influence the direction of a compass needle?
The conducting wire wrapped around the compass is energized creating a magnetic field that counteracts the effects of the Earth's magnetic field and changes the direction of the compass needle.
Determine the direction in which a compass needle will point when held above a wire with positive charges moving west?
The compass needle will point north-south.
What is the purpose for a needle on a compass?
to point the right direction ***correction by cw - the needle always points north.
If you made another compass with the same materials would the needle point be in the same direction?
the needle points in the direction the magnetic fields wish. The gravity pulls the compass nearer and nearer the magnetic fields.
Why does the compass point north in the southern hemisphere?
The direction of magnetic flux or lines of force is from north polarity to south polarity, and a compass needle will always align with that direction, wherever it is used. Since the magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south, a compass needle will point in that direction.
How could you magnetise a needle to make your own compass?
Rub the needle across a magnetic surface...always in the same direction, don't go back and forth. This will magnetise the needle. Then float the needle in a dish of water. And presto you have your own compass
