Magnetic compass
Magnetic compass works on the directive property of a magnet. It's needle is magnetic and allowed to rotate in a horizontal plane. One end of the needle always point north and is painted red. It is used for navigation purposes.
Definition
Directions Using a Magnet
When a bar magnet is hanged from a thread it comes to rest on north and south direction.The end of the magnet that points towards North is called its North seeking end or the North pole of the magnet. The other end that points towards the South is called South seeking end or the South pole of the magnet.
Hence the magnets are used in compass to give the directions and this is the property of magnet that when ever it is suspended freely it will align itself in north-south direction irrespective of its shape.
