How does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
What will happen if you place a magnetic compass in an electric curcuit?
The compass will align itself with the magnetic field generated by the current flow through the wires.
What do waves transfers to place to place?
waves transfer energy
What wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place?
All waves do that.
How yo find the magnetic field of earth at a particular place?
Using a compass is the easiest way. The needle is going to point to the Magnetic North Pole. That means that the compass needle is ALIGNED with the Magnetic Field Lines of the Earth's magnetic field at your current position.
Does a magnetic compass work in the desert?
Why not? the desert is just the same as any other place on planet earth. Magnetic compasses work fine in the desert. See the "Where does the magnetic compass not work?" question for some places where they don't work.
How far do you need to keep a magnet from a compass?
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
What energy transfers take place in an electrical cell?
Chemical energy is changed into electrical energy
Energy transfers take place at what organizational level?
molecule
What do waves carry from place to place?
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
Can magnetic field lines be detected by a compass?
The magnetic field can certainly be detected by a compass.The 'lines' are a handy human invention, and don't really exist, so you could not,say, trace out the lines with a compass, because they're not there.But place a compass next to a wire that's involved in any battery-operated (DC)circuit, and the compass absolutely goes crazy !
Why does south pole of the compass always point to the north while north pole always points to the south?
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
