About This Product
The needle of a magnetic compass is a small magnet that lines up with the magnetic field around it. In the Earth's field it points north, and students read the other directions from that. In physics practicals the compass is used to trace the field around a bar magnet and to detect the field around a wire carrying current. Keep it away from magnets and iron objects when it is used to find direction, because they can pull the needle off north.
