why compases point towards the magnetic north, not the nearest MRI

171 views

I remember reading that an MRI’s magnetic field is more powerful than the earth’s, so shouldn’t my compas’ needle be more attracted by MRIs rather than the magnetic north, and therefore point towards it?

The magnetic field of the mri doesn’t travel far enough to effect your compass.
If you were close to one with a compass something would defintely happen, I dunno what though..
