A compass can be used to determine the direction of the magnetic field in an electromagnet. The needle of the compass will align along the direction of the magnetic field lines produced by the electromagnet.

A device that indicated direction?

A compass is a device that indicates direction by pointing towards the Earth's magnetic North pole. It works based on the Earth's magnetic field, allowing users to easily determine which way is north, south, east, and west.


Which device that indicate the direction of the magnetic flux?

A compass is a device that indicates the direction of the magnetic flux. It aligns with the Earth's magnetic field and points towards the magnetic North Pole.


Give an example of an electromagnet?

An example of an electromagnet can be a car, generator, and the "yoke" of a tv has 2 electromagnets. Any device that is made to be magnetic by passing an electric current though the device.


What electromagnetic device has a magnetic core and an energized cell?

An electromagnet typically has a magnetic core, such as iron, and is energized by running an electric current through a coil wrapped around the core. When the current flows, it generates a magnetic field around the core, giving the electromagnet its magnetic properties.


Is an electromagnet likely to be attracted to a magnet?

An electromagnet is simply a device that will create a magnetic field when electricity is run through it (basically a normal magnet, but you need to plug it in). Depending on the magnetic charges of the electromagnet and the regular magnet, it should either attract or repulse like magnets normally do to one another.


A device that has a magnetized needle that spins freely?

The device you are describing sounds like a compass. The magnetized needle aligns with the magnetic field of the Earth, allowing users to determine their direction relative to the north.


Is a light bulb an electromagnet?

No, a light bulb is not an electromagnet. A light bulb contains a filament that produces light when current flows through it, whereas an electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field when current flows through a coil of wire.


What device works because of Earth's magnetism?

A compass works by aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field, allowing users to determine the direction of north.


A device that uses the Earths magnetic field to indicate witch way north is?

A compass is a device that uses the Earth's magnetic field to indicate which way is north. It aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, with one end pointing towards the magnetic north pole and the other end pointing towards the magnetic south pole. This allows users to determine their direction and navigate accurately.
