Is a sewing needle magnetic?
Sewing needles are almost always made of steel, which is a magnetic alloy of iron, which is, itself, magnetic. Sometimes we put a bowl of water on the table, rub and tap a sewing needle with one end of a permanent magnet for a few seconds, float the needle on the water (a hint of oil on the needle might help), and construct a homemade magnetic compass.

Which end of the british compass needle will be weighted?
The northern end of the British compass needle will be weighted because it is attracted to the magnetic North Pole.
What is the difference between an Australian compass and British compass?
The needle of a compass must be free to rotate so that it can point to magnetic north. The magnetic field of the earth not only rotates the compass needle horizontally but also pulls one end down. If it pulls the needle down it can stop it from turning freely so on many compasses the needle is balanced for use in a specific zone. There are 5 zones. Austraila and Britain are in different zones. This means the needle may not be level if used in the other's zone. Needles are balanced by making one end of the needle longer or by adding weight to one end of the needle.

How does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?

How can one determine the poles of the magnetised iron bar?
To determine the poles of a magnetized iron bar, you can use a compass. One end of the bar that attracts the north-seeking end of the compass needle is the north pole of the bar. The opposite end that attracts the south-seeking end of the compass needle is the south pole of the bar.
Can a compass needle pointing north end you up in the geographical north pole of earth?

What direction does the needle of a compass point?

Which direction you are facing at the needle of the compass you are holding points directly to your left explain?
If the needle of the compass points directly to your left, it means you are facing north. The needle of a compass always aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, with the red end pointing towards the magnetic north pole and the white (or non-red) end pointing towards the magnetic south pole.
Is a compass a second class lever?
Yes, a compass can be considered a second-class lever because it has the pivot point (fulcrum) at one end, the load (magnetic needle) at the other end, and the effort (directional force) applied in between to move the needle.
What feature of earth makes a compass needle point north?

How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
