General Science / Determining Poles without Using the Sun
« on: 20/06/2007 14:12:55 »
Hi again!
Sorry for posting 2 topics within such a short time. Hopefully you people don't mind!
ok here's my next question.
Without using the Sun as a reference how can you determine the poles of the compass, supposing that the compass hasn't got the poles engraved on it yet. There are some items that you're given to use, they are a bare piece of copper wire, a flashlight, a dry cell and of course a compass.
Thanks in Advance!
Matthew
