Acompass pointing north will point in a different direction when placed near a piece of metal. which causes this to happen?

magnetic fields
electromagnetism
electricity

magnetic fields

Explanation:

compass needle itself is a magnet . It aligns itself along the earth's magnetic fields to show north south direction. When some metal piece is put near a compass needle , it tends to attract the metal piece as metal is a magnetic material . So it gets deflected from its original orientation. So magnetic field around the needle is responsible for its deflection.
