What compass is Canada in?
The north. We have and own the north magnetic pole. All compass users have to pay us a royalty....ok maybe not.
Do electronics work in the desert?
Yes, electronics work in the desert.
Why Magnetic compass inoperative at the poles?
the fieldlines are pointing straight down. If your compass could rotate when held up (instead of lying flat on a table), the needle would point downwards.
How can you tell that the Earth has a magnetic field?
Hang a magnetized object from a thread attached to its midpoint, so that it balances with its poles at the same level, like a propeller.Notice that regardless of what position you point it, it has a direction in which it wants to point, and when you let it go, it always rotates itself to that direction.An identical object that's NOT magnetized won't behave that way.
When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?
This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...
Does magnetic compass work on the sun?
No, the sun does not have an iron core to generate magnetic poles
Why does a compass always work?
A compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The needle of the compass is magnetized, pointing towards the magnetic north pole. As long as the Earth's magnetic field remains stable and the compass is not influenced by nearby magnetic objects, it will always point north.
How do compass' work?
The arrow in a compass is magnetic and is being pulled the magnetic force from the north pole. Hope it helped:) btw, I'm a fifth grader:) :)
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

How do earth's magnetic properties explain how compass work?
The magnet in the compass is attracted to the magnetic field in the Earth's core. The N on the compass always point to magnetic north.... Don't get that confused with geographical north. They are different. Hope this helps.
What kind of force allows a navigation compass to work?
A navigation compass works based on the force of Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle is magnetized and aligns itself with the magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic North Pole.
What does the 'compass' tell you?
The compass indicates the direction of magnetic North, from that you can work out South, East, West and all the other points on the compass.
Why would magnetic compass not work in space?
A magnetic compass depends on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. In space, there is no magnetic field to interact with, so a magnetic compass would not be useful for navigation. Other orientation systems, like gyroscopes or star tracking sensors, are used instead in space.
Is gyrosyn compass a combination of magnetic compass and artificial horizon?
No,a Gyrosyn compass is a combination of a Magnetic compass and Direct reading compass.
How do nautical compasses work?
Nautical compasses work based on the Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle aligns itself with the magnetic field lines, indicating the north-south direction. The compass rose on the compass card provides reference points for navigation.
Does a compass work best when close to magnet?
Yes, a compass works best when it is close to a magnet because the magnet helps align the compass needle with Earth's magnetic field. The closer the compass is to a magnet, the stronger the magnetic force acting on the needle, making it easier for the compass to point in the correct direction.
Places were compass doesn't work because of location?
The compass may not work properly near magnetic anomalies, such as iron deposits, mountains, or man-made structures like buildings or power lines. Additionally, near the magnetic poles, the compass can give unreliable readings due to the convergence of magnetic field lines.
