No, a compass is not an electromagnet. A compass is a navigational instrument that contains a magnetic needle, which aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, indicating the direction of magnetic north. Electromagnets, on the other hand, are created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, generating a magnetic field. While both involve magnetism, their principles and functions are different.
