How did physical features affect Marco polos exploration?
it didn't affect him because he had the compass
What happens to the compass when an aluminum bar is close?
The magnetic field of the compass may be slightly influenced by the presence of the aluminum bar, but aluminum itself is not magnetic so it won't affect the compass significantly. You would generally need a stronger magnetic field to noticeably affect the compass's needle.
Why would steel in a modern ship affect a compass?
Steel contains a large proportion of iron which affects compass needles.
What effect will the north pole of a magnet have on a compass when the compass is within the range of the magnet's magnetic field?
It will not have any affect at all HaYLEy
Will titanium effect a magnetic compass?
Yes, titanium is non-magnetic and does not affect the accuracy of a magnetic compass. The compass will still function normally near titanium objects.
Which metals do not effect a compass?
Metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and gold do not affect a compass because they are not magnetic. The compass needle aligns with Earth's magnetic field, so nonmagnetic metals do not interfere with its functionality.
When a current flows from east to west what direction will a compass point to?
A compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, which typically points north. In this scenario, with a current flowing from east to west, the compass needle will still point north. The direction of current flow does not affect the orientation of the compass needle.
Can an electric current be used to affect a compass needle?
Yes, an electric current can affect a compass needle because it creates a magnetic field. When the electric current flows through a wire, it generates a magnetic field around the wire, which can deflect the compass needle and change its direction.
How does the compass affect us right now?
it dosent it just shows u what dirction to go
How does earth's magnetic field affect the compass?
Earth's magnetic field is what allows a compass to align itself with the magnetic poles, causing the needle to point north. The magnetic field provides a reference point for navigation, helping people determine their direction relative to the Earth's magnetic field. Any changes or disturbances in the magnetic field can affect the accuracy of a compass reading.
What will affect a compass reading?
Magnetic fields, metal objects, electrical equipment, and proximity to the Earth's magnetic poles can all affect a compass reading. These external influences can cause the needle to deviate from pointing true north.
