Question

in what direction should the red point of the compass be pointing? left right up down

Explanation:

Step1: Recall magnetic - pole interaction

Opposite magnetic poles attract. The red end of a compass is a north - seeking pole. The blue end of the magnet on the left is a south pole and the red end of the magnet on the right is a north pole.

Step2: Determine compass direction

The red end of the compass will be attracted to the south pole of the magnet on the left. So it will point left.

Answer:

Left
