How did Chinese inventions alter the course of world history?
They are still part of our lives today like the compass, wheel barrel and the umbrella. The Chinese are still making new inventions....
Will titanium effect a magnetic compass?
Yes, titanium is non-magnetic and does not affect the accuracy of a magnetic compass. The compass will still function normally near titanium objects.
When did people stop using a Magnetic Compass?
The simple truth is that they are still in wide use and probably always will be.
What are three Chinese inventions that still exist today?
Three Chinese inventions that still exist today are gunpowder, which is still used in firearms and fireworks; the magnetic compass, which is still used for navigation; and paper, which is still widely used for writing and printing.
Do the Chinese still use the Chinese compass?
Yes they do. The Chinese compass,also known as Luopan in Chinese,is used in Fengshui process,a way to determine a building's site,point,etc.
Does the Chinese still use the compass and why?
Yes the Chinese still use their compasses. They use them to travel in the desired direction.
What is a magnetized needle that is attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole?
It is still a needle, but could be referred to as a compass needle.
When i am filled i point the way when I'm empty nothing moves me?
A compass. When a compass is filled with a magnetic liquid, the needle is able to point towards the Earth's magnetic North pole, guiding the way. When the compass is empty or not functioning, the needle remains still and does not indicate direction.
How do you still use the magnetic compass today?
Magnetic compasses are still used in various applications today, including in navigation on ships and aircraft, hiking and camping, and in certain scientific instruments. While digital technology has largely replaced traditional compasses in many contexts, the basic principle of the magnetic compass remains important for providing reliable directional information.
In the southern hemisphere the north pole of a compass needle?
The north pole of a compass needle would still point point towards the north. More precisely, towards the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is close to the geographic north pole.
IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?
A compass is still useful for determining direction because it points towards the magnetic north pole, providing a consistent reference point that helps in navigation. Even though the magnetic north pole and geographic north pole are not aligned, the difference can be accounted for using magnetic declination adjustments.
When a current flows from east to west what direction will a compass point to?
A compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, which typically points north. In this scenario, with a current flowing from east to west, the compass needle will still point north. The direction of current flow does not affect the orientation of the compass needle.
