Question

If a bar magnet is placed near a magnetic compass, will the compass needle still

show the correct geographic direction? Why and why not?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A magnetic compass does not point to the geographic north pole. A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth's geographic poles.

Furthermore, the magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole

. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract.
