Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the compass needle when you move towards the North Pole? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that a compass needle is a small magnet that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
  • Step 2: Know that the Earth has a magnetic field that extends from the North Pole to the South Pole.
  • Step 3: As you move towards the North Pole, the magnetic field lines get closer together.
  • Step 4: When the compass needle is near the North Pole, it not only points towards the magnetic North but also starts to tilt downwards.
  • Step 5: This downward tilt happens because the magnetic field lines are entering the Earth at a steep angle.
