Lecture
Compass Construction
Description
This lecture covers the construction of a compass using small neodymium magnets, rings, string, and a piece of electrical wire. The process involves separating the magnets, attaching them to the wire, and observing how the compass aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
