What else can I help you with?
In which direction will the compass point?
The compass will point towards the magnetic north pole.
What direction does the magnetic needle of a compass point to?
The magnetic needle of a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
What direction does the needle of a magnetic compass point?
The needle of a magnetic compass points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. This allows users to determine their direction relative to the magnetic poles.
Is a compass affected by the earths magnetic field?
Yes, a compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The needle in a compass is magnetized and will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
How does an inducted magnetic field influence the direction of a compass needle?
The conducting wire wrapped around the compass is energized creating a magnetic field that counteracts the effects of the Earth's magnetic field and changes the direction of the compass needle.
In which direction will the compass point?
The compass will point towards the magnetic north pole.
What direction does a compass neddle point?
magnetic north.
What direction does the magnetic needle of a compass point to?
The magnetic needle of a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
What direction does the needle of a magnetic compass point?
The needle of a magnetic compass points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. This allows users to determine their direction relative to the magnetic poles.
Why does the compass point north in the southern hemisphere?
The direction of magnetic flux or lines of force is from north polarity to south polarity, and a compass needle will always align with that direction, wherever it is used. Since the magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south, a compass needle will point in that direction.
Is a compass affected by the earths magnetic field?
Yes, a compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The needle in a compass is magnetized and will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
If you made another compass with the same materials would the needle point be in the same direction?
the needle points in the direction the magnetic fields wish. The gravity pulls the compass nearer and nearer the magnetic fields.
How does an inducted magnetic field influence the direction of a compass needle?
The conducting wire wrapped around the compass is energized creating a magnetic field that counteracts the effects of the Earth's magnetic field and changes the direction of the compass needle.
Does a compass use a magnetic force?
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.
The arrowhead of a compass always point north?
True north is the direction indicated by the Earth's axis of rotation, while magnetic north is the direction indicated by the compass needle. The arrowhead of a compass points towards magnetic north, not true north.
How do you know that the compass point at north always?
The Earth's magnetic field causes a compass needle to align with the magnetic North Pole, which is located near the geographic North Pole. This makes the compass point to the north direction consistently.
What can be used for a compass?
a freely suspended magnetic needle as it will always point to the north - south direction
