as a compass finds the northern direction,which of the following is it aligning with ?
A.electrical field of earth
B.magnetic resistance of earth
C.magnetic metal of earth
D.magnetic field of earth

Respuesta :

D.magnetic field of earth

Answer:

D.magnetic field of earth

Explanation:

Magnetic compass is having a magnetic needle in it.

This magnetic needle will deflect in the direction of the magnetic field where it is placed

So when we place the magnetic needle or compass at any place on the Earth surface it always shows the Northern direction.

It is because our Earth has its own magnetic field which will apply torque on the magnetic needle due to which the needle will align itself into the direction of field.

So here the correct answer will be

D.magnetic field of earth
