Content Compass for a Physics Lab involves outlining a strategic plan for generating, organizing, and disseminating content related to physics experiments, research, and educational materials.

What is the compass:-

compass is a navigational instrument used to determine direction relative to the Earth’s magnetic poles. It typically consists of a magnetized needle that freely rotates and always points toward the magnetic north.

Main Directions on a Compass:-

  • North (N)
  • East (E)
  • South (S)
  • West (W)

Uses of a Compass:-

  • Navigation (hiking, sailing, aviation)
  • Surveying and mapping
  • Education in geography and physics labs
  • Military and outdoor adventure

Features:-

Magnetic Needle:-

  • Freely rotating needle that aligns with Earth’s magnetic field to indicate North.
