		Compass and straightedge or ruler-and-compass construction is the construction of lengths or angles using only an idealized ruler and compass.
		The elements of this field are precisely those that may be expressed as a formula in the original points using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, complex conjugate, and square root, which is easily seen to be a countable dense subset of the plane.
		The set of ratios constructible using compass and straightedge from such a set of ratios is precisely the smallest field containing the original ratios and closed under taking complex conjugates and square roots.

	Howstuffworks "How Compasses Work"
		A magnetic compass (as opposed to a gyroscopic compass) consists of a small, lightweight magnet balanced on a nearly frictionless pivot point.
		In order for the north end of the compass to point toward the North Pole, you have to assume that the buried bar magnet has its south end at the North Pole, as shown in the diagram at the right.
		That is why we can use a compass to detect the small magnetic field produced by a wire carrying a current (see How Electromagnets Work).
