Can commerce students do any type of engineering?
by my information i can tell you that you can take computer engineering for sure if you chose computer science (IT) instead of mathematics.
What metal does a compass have to be away from to work?
Iron or steel. Since it is a magnet, a compass will point to iron instead of pointing North.
What is effect of using a gps instead of a compass?
A compass - can only indicate a direction to travel. A GPS receiver - can not only show you which direction to go, but how far away you are from your destination.

A compass - can only indicate a direction to travel. A GPS receiver - can not only show you which direction to go, but how far away you are from your destination.
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

Why Magnetic compass inoperative at the poles?
the fieldlines are pointing straight down. If your compass could rotate when held up (instead of lying flat on a table), the needle would point downwards.
Do Students get to pick there High school instead of their parents?
no
What is the advantage and disadvantage of Information Technology in education?
There are many advantages of teaching informational technology in schools including the ability of students to connect with leaders in remote locations and learn about things that only a small amount of students are interested in. A big disadvantage is that students learn to rely on the computer for answers instead of figuring out the solution on their own.
What percent of students go out and play?
10 percent of students go out instead of use electronic devices
What is a computer program called Achieve 3000?
It's a stupid program for students of all ages to read boring articles and answer questions about it. It kills every students lives. Everyone hates it. Including me. If you like reading about the news instead of WATCHING the news, use Achieve 3000
Effects of this magnetic field on a compass or closely spaced objects?
on a compass it caused the compass to point to the magnet instead of magnetic north, I think that South will point to the magnet (if I remember correctly) You can get around this by using our patent which allows a magnetic radio speaker in a radio direction finder to sit directly next to a compass - by aligning the radio speaker to sit directly south of the compass it does not effect the accuracy.
Why do orienteering maps have magnetic North Pole instead of the true North Pole?
That is because the map is used with a magnetic compass. Since the needle on the compass points in the direction of magnetic north it is easier to use the map with the compass if the lines drawn on the map indicate magnetic north.
