Can a compass construct circles?
The only way a compass can be used to create a circle is if you draw round it, because a compass is actually a navigational instrument which shows direction. If you're out in the woods, for example, you use a compass to show you which direction you need to head in. A pair of compasses can be used to construct, or draw, a circle of any size, up to the maximum reach of the "arms".
Is a compass supposed to be on the left side of a map?
Actually there is no difference in which side do you keep your compass as long it is going to show the north direction in any other side of the map. Usually there is a small print in the maps (left side/right side depends of the print) which shows the direction of north in the certain map position. So What you have to do is to use compass to get the right direction.

What can plotting compasses be used to detect?

Do you point up for south and at your feet for north at the South Pole?
You cannot go further south when you are at the South Pole, so there is nowhere you can point that is south. Pointing up is off the planet, so it is not in any direction on a compass, just like at any place on Earth. Directions on a compass only apply to the surface of Earth. Point in any direction around you and you are pointing north.

How can the direction of magnetic field lines at a place can be determined?
Get a magnet that's free to turn in any direction ... a boy-scout compass will do nicely.Place it in the magnetic field. It rotates to point in the direction of the field 'lines' atthat location. (I forget whether it's the north or south pole of the compass that pointsin the direction of the magnetic field, or opposite to it.)If you like, move your detector slowly, always following the direction in which it points,and you'll trace out a complete 'line' of the magnetic field.

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.
