If you are in Puerto Rico which way would your compass point?

Which is the point to which a compass always points?
The point to which a compass always points is the magnetic North Pole. This is because the compass needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which is directed towards the magnetic North Pole.
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.
Why can't a compass might not point north if its placed near a wire with a current?
A wire with a current produces a magnetic field that can interfere with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to deviate from pointing north. This is known as electromagnetic interference.
Where will a compass point if you face south?
If you point the north side of the compass away from you the compass will point south. Because the needle always points north (magnetism).
When no current is present the compass needles will?
When no current is present, the compass needles will align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north pole. This is because the Earth's magnetic field exerts a force on the compass needle, causing it to align in a north-south direction.
In which direction will each compass point when there is a large current in the direction shown?
When there is a large current in the direction shown, each compass point will point in the same direction as the current.

Why does a compass point the way it does?
A compass point is lightly magnetised and is attracted the the magnetic north pole, so provided there are no other stronger magnets nearby the compass will always point north, and knowing where north is you can then work out all the other directions.
