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 direction does a compass needle point when close to north pole?
At either of the magnetic poles, the lines of force enter the planet, so the compass needle will attempt to point straight downward. Due to minor fluctuations, some compasses will spin or pivot about.Near either geographic pole, compasses will still point toward the magnetic pole, which may be north, south, east, or west of the user's position.
What are some weathers during hurricanes?
Hurricanes bring strong winds and heavy rains, which can cause flooding. Hurricanes can bring thunderstorms which may become severe and sometimes produce tornadoes.
Is there ever a time when your compass will not point north?
Your compass will always point to the earth's north magnetic pole. That spot is about 940 miles from the real north Pole. Your compass only points to real north if you happen to be on the extension of the line that joins the two spots. Anywhere else, your compass points to one side or the other of the real north Pole.
Why may the presence of nearby iron or steel materials make the reading of a compass incorrect?
The presence of nearby iron or steel materials can interfere with a compass reading because these materials generate their own magnetic fields or can distort the Earth's magnetic field. This magnetic interference can cause the compass needle, which aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, to point in a different direction than true north. As a result, the compass may provide inaccurate directional information, leading to navigation errors.
Why can ships with iron hulls causes a compass to become unreliable?
Because the ships might go to different directions(maybe)
Does a compass work underground in a mine?
No, a compass may be unreliable underground in a mine due to interference from the surrounding metal ores and rock formations. Magnetic fields can be distorted and may cause the compass to give inaccurate readings. It is best to rely on other navigation tools in such environments.
What could cause the data to be unreliable?
cell phone data lagging
Why are Hyundai's unreliable Hondai into garage why all this sliding doors so on reliable and what is the cause of that?
Hyundai's sliding doors are not as unreliable as claimed; many are pretty durable and reliable.
List the cause and effect connections between the Chinese invation of the Magnetic compass and Zheng He's voyage?
The cause is the Chinese invention of the magnetic compass. The effect is the voyage of Zheng He. The invention of the magnetic compass allowed Zheng He to make his voyage.
Do vocal cord nodules become cancerous?
Any cell/organ in the human body can become cancerous.
Why does my cat have a runny nose when purring?
When a cat purrs, it can sometimes cause their nasal passages to become congested, leading to a runny nose. This is a common occurrence and is usually not a cause for concern.

Can you use the compass under the power lines?
If the power lines were Direct Current, sometimes used for efficient long distance transmission, then your compass would definitely be affected, and may be quite useless. The high currents in such a long distance DC line will generate a magnetic field. With an Alternating Current power line, the alternating current itself should not cause any problem with the compass, but the steel of the towers themselves may certainly do so.
Does puberty make people suicidal?
Puberty may cause many behavioural changes in people. Sometimes, teensgers may become suicidal.
Why might a compass not work near a strong power line?
If the power lines were Direct Current, sometimes used for efficient long distance transmission, then your compass would definitely be affected, and may be quite useless. The high currents in such a long distance DC line will generate a magnetic field. With an Alternating Current power line, the alternating current itself should not cause any problem with the compass, but the steel of the towers themselves may certainly do so.

With a scan tool after repairing the cause of the code.
