Answers
A magnetic compass is basically a needle made up of a magnetic substance which responds (moves) in the presence of magnetic fields. The needle is placed such that it is free to move in the horizontal plane along the vertical axis. The needle is kept in an enclosure with a transparent glass top.
It is normally used to detect the presence of electromagnetic fields or for navigation with respect to the Earth's magnetic poles.
