Does the magnetic compass have a magnetic field around it?
Asked by Gurinder | 07 Jun, 2015, 06:31: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
A compass is used as a magnetic field direction detector. A compass is nothing more than a tiny magnet suspended such that it can freely rotate in response to a magnetic field. Like all magnets, the needle has a North pole and a South pole that get attracted and repelled by the poles of other magnets. When the compass is placed in a strong magnetic field, the needle turns due to the forces of attraction and repulsion until it is perfectly aligned with the direction of the field.

Plssss answer..... Assertion: Magnetic field lines never intersect each other. Reason: If they intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
