Question

Where does a compass work?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compass works in drawing a circle and to locate directions.

Answer 2

The compass's operation is based on the concept of magnetism.

Explanation:

• It is based on the discovery that a bar magnet held in the air with a thread or string would align itself along the geographical north-south axis.
• A compass needle is made up of a needle that is mounted on a pivot or pin and can move freely. Because the compass needle is a magnet, it will interact with the Earth's bar magnet.
• Magnetism's basic premise is that like poles repel one other while unlike poles attract. When the compass needle points north, it is being drawn to the geographic north of the Earth, which is the south pole of the magnet inside the Earth.
