Detailed Solution

Compass works on the property of Self-orientation.
Magnet orient itself in the North-South direction if freely suspended. This property is utilised in the concept of the compass. A magnetic compass can be used to find direction. A magnetic compass works on the principle of the magnet being self-oriented if freely suspended. It helps us to find the north direction and south direction.
