PhET Simulation: Magnet and Compass covers the same topic as http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/java/magcompass/index.html
relation created by Caroline Hall

A closely related simulation to explore how a compass responds to magnetic fields. A bar magnet may be moved about a compass to demonstrate strength-of-field. Remove the bar magnet to see the compass needle point north to the Earth's magnetic pole.
