The uppermost one is called North (N) The lowest one is called South (S)
The easternmost one is called East (E)
The westernmost one is called West (W)
The compass needle.
It is called the needle.
The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.
A compass needle is a small magnet itself. When it is placed next to a larger magnet, the magnetic field of the larger magnet interacts with the magnetic field of the compass needle. This interaction causes the compass needle to align with the magnetic field of the larger magnet, causing it to spin and point in the direction of the magnetic field lines.
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.
A compass magnet or a compass needle.
A compass is a magnet. It reacts like a magnet.
The compass needle.
PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent 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.

North pole and South pole. This can be easily identified using a compass. Be careful not to re-magnatize the compass.
no
because inside of the earth acts like a big magnet and the magnet points to the north
A. Compasses typically use a permanent magnet.
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.
