A compass does not "consume" energy as such.
It just align according to the magnetic field of the Earth.
One end will point North and the opposite End will point South.
Note that the Geographic North and South are different from the magnetic North and South. A compass as in the simple ones with a metal pin giving direction, will always point to the Magnetic North.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a compass needle change direction when it is near a magnetic field?
Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.
What is the name of the force that changes direction of a compass needle?
The force that changes the direction of a compass needle is called the magnetic force, which is generated by the Earth's magnetic field.
If Veronica spins in a circle with the compass in her hand which force keeps the compass' needle pointing north?
The force keeping the compass needle pointing north is the Earth's magnetic field. The needle aligns with the magnetic field lines, indicating the direction of magnetic north.
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 are two ways you can determine if a magnetic force is present?
You can determine if a magnetic force is present by observing the effect it has on nearby magnetic materials, such as attracting or repelling them. Another way is to use a magnetic compass, which will align itself with the magnetic field lines if a magnetic force is present.

Can you use a small iron nail for a compass?
It depends how strong Earth's magnetic force is.
What is the name of the force that changes direction of a compass needle?
The force that changes the direction of a compass needle is called the magnetic force, which is generated by the Earth's magnetic field.
Can magnetic force of repulsion act from a distance?
Yes. That's how the navigator of an airplane in flight is able to use a magnetic compass.

The force keeping the compass needle pointing north is the Earth's magnetic field. The needle aligns with the magnetic field lines, indicating the direction of magnetic north.
Plants with a magnetic force?
Compass plants respond to Earth's magnetic field, but do not produce their own magnetic force.

What does force on a magnetic compass needle represent?
The force acting on a magnetic compass needle represents the Earth's magnetic field. The needle aligns itself with the magnetic field lines, pointing towards the North and South magnetic poles. This alignment allows the compass needle to indicate the direction of North.
Does a compass use mangnetism?
A magnetic compass does. Though there are other types of compass that do not

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:) :)
