What is a device that has a magnetized needle that can spin freely?
A compass has a magnetized needle that can spin freely.
What does a compass needle do?
It points to true north.
Does a compass needle point north because of earth's magnetosphere?
A compass needle points north because it aligns with Earth's magnetic field, specifically the magnetic north pole. Earth's magnetosphere is the region around Earth influenced by the planet's magnetic field, but the compass needle is primarily responding to the magnetic field itself.
What is the The north magnetic pole of a compass needle is attracted to the magnetic pole of the earth.?
The needle on a compass points to the North Magnetic Pole. CommentA compass points to Magnetic North, not to the north magnetic pole. They are two different things -the first is location, the second is magnetic polarity.
If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or south?
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
What is a instrument with a needle that points north?
A compass.
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed with a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
What direction does the magnetic needle of a compass point to?
The magnetic needle of a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
What does a compass needle point do?
It points to true north.
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
Find out why the needle of a compass points to the north?
OK. Done that.
What is the purpose for a needle on a compass?
to point the right direction ***correction by cw - the needle always points north.
What is a device that has a magnetized needle that can spin freely?
A compass has a magnetized needle that can spin freely.
What is a magnetized needle that is attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole?
It is still a needle, but could be referred to as a compass needle.
A needle on a compass always point to what pole?
The North Pole.Another AnswerA compass needle points to the location called 'Magnetic North', named to distinguish it from 'True North'. Magnetic North is several hundred miles away from True North.
Why does a compass needle line itself up with the magnetic field?
a compass points the magnetic north pole,because the earth is tilted on an axis of 23 degrees, while spinning on this same axis.that is why a compass points to magnetic north and not true north.
