A compass can be used to find East-West direction at any place.

Open in App
Solution

True

A magnetic compass always points towards the North-South direction. If the North-South direction is known, then East-West direction can be determined. The direction perpendicular to North-South direction will be East-West direction, which will be same as the perpendicular to the compass needle in the same plane.
