Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
Is copper attracted to a magnet?
No, copper is not attracted to a magnet.
Why won't a compass work near a magnet?
The compass needle is itself a magnet which is why it always points north according to the earth's magnetic field. If you place a magnet (Whose magnetic power is stronger than the earth's) close to the compass its needle will be attracted t the magnet and not to the North Pole.
What happens when you rub a needle on a magnet?
Rubbing a needle on a magnet will align the domains within the needle in the same direction as the magnetic field of the magnet. This causes the needle to become magnetized and exhibit magnetic properties itself.
How do you find out if iron is a metal?
One method is to use a magnet. If the metal is iron, the magnet will be attracted.

Is compass attracted to magnet?
Yes, a compass is attracted to a magnet because the needle inside the compass is magnetized and aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which is created by the interaction of the Earth's core and crust. This allows the compass to point towards the magnetic North Pole.
Why is steel attracted to a magnet but not brass?
magnets attract steel why then is a compass needle affected by a pice of steel if the steel is not magnetised
Why does the needle of a compass point south when it's put on a bar magnet?
When a compass needle is placed near a bar magnet, it aligns itself with the magnetic field created by the magnet. The compass needle is a small magnet itself, with its north pole attracted to the south pole of the bar magnet and repelled by its north pole. If the compass needle points south, it indicates that the bar magnet's south pole is near the compass's north pole, demonstrating the fundamental property of magnetic attraction and repulsion. Thus, the orientation of the compass needle reflects the magnetic field direction of the bar magnet.
Is copper attracted to a magnet?
No, copper is not attracted to a magnet.

What sticks to a temporary magnet?
Anything that is attracted to a permanent magnet will be attracted to (sticks to) a temporary magnet.
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.
How do you do a needle?
You need to rub the needle with a magnet or you can use coil around the needle and pass current to make it a electro magnet.
An unmagnetized needle will not attract another unmagnetized needle but if one end of the needle is in contact with a magnet the other end will attract the other needle explain?
When one end of the unmagnetized needle is in contact with a magnet, the magnetic field from the magnet induces magnetism in the needle. This results in the end of the needle touching the magnet becoming a magnetic pole, and the other end becoming an opposite pole. The opposite poles attract each other, causing the unmagnetized needle to attract another needle when in contact with a magnet.
