Magnetic Compass for Physics Lab – Magnetic needle mounted in metal case with hinged cover, glass, dial marked with principal points of the Compass, a locking mechanism 45mm dia.
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.
Direction Markings:-
- Clearly marked cardinal points (N, E, S, W) and intercardinal points (NE, SE, SW, NW).
Ruler/Scales:-
- Useful for measuring distances on maps.
Sight or Lensatic Viewer:-
- For precision aiming and direction reading.
Compact & Lightweight:-
- Easy to carry and ideal for field use.
