You are given a small plotting compass and three grey metal bars one is aluminum one is iron one is magnet how can i identify each one?
The bar that affects the compass is the magnet, The bar that is attracted to the magnet is iron, and the bar that is not attracted to the magnet is aluminum.
What else can I help you with?
Is a needle in a compass a permanent magnet?
Yes, it is a permanent magnet.
What happens when you stroke a needle 20 times with a magnet?
it becomes magnetic :)
How is magnet important in compass?
To indicate the direction in which the map is drawn to. Without the compass rose, you would not know which direction you are heading to, neither would you be able to navigate your way out with a compass in your hand.
What causes a compass to behave as it does?
The needle of a compass is a magnet, and the earth is also a magnet. The side of the compass marked N is attracted to the north pole of the Earth, and the side marked S is attracted to Earth's south pole. The compass will spin to line itself up with the poles it is attracted to. However, if you have other magnets nearby, the compass can spin to line itself up with those instead.
What will be attracted or repelled by a magnet?
An aluminum wire carrying current An electromagnet An iron pipe (Apex)
What is a plotting compass?
A plotting compass is a small magnet which is suspended and is free to rotate. When it is near a magnet, the compass will always point in a particular direction (the north pole's direction) becasue of the force of the magnetic field.
What can plotting compasses be used to detect?
A plotting compass is used to detect which direction the North Pole is located. You can stand in any position and it will always point north. +++ That's a navigation compass. A plotting compass will indeed point to the Earth's Magnetic North Pole (not the axis pole), if not influenced by any other magnet; but its purpose is in plotting the magnetic field around a magnet.
How do you identify the polarities in round magnet?
You can identify the polarities of a round magnet using a compass. The end of the magnet that points north on the compass is the north pole of the magnet, while the end that points south on the compass is the south pole of the magnet.
How does a plotting compass work?
A plotting compass contains a small magnet on a needle that moves with almost no friction. Assuming there isn't another magnet nearby to interfere with the magnetic waves, the magnet in the compass will always point north, in the direction of the Magnetic North, which is very close to the North Pole.
How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
How do you identify north and south pole of a magnet without using a compass?
guess an check.
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).
Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?
That depends on which pole of the magnet it is moved close to. If it is brought close to the "South" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be attracted to the magnet. If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
What is the magnet in a compass?
The compass needle.
Can you break a compass with a magnet?
In a compass box we have a small magnetic needle to which an aluminum pointer is attached at right angle. Since it has a magnetic piece, it has to respond to other magnets. In some boxes we have the pointer small in size is itself a magnet pivoted freely.
Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnetic or an electromagnet?
PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.
How does a bar magnet interact with a compass?
A bar magnet interacts with a compass by aligning the compass needle along the magnetic field lines of the magnet. This causes the compass needle to point towards the North Pole of the magnet, allowing the compass to indicate the direction of the magnetic field.
