After you hold a magnet to a compass, does it get less exact?

Question

Just curious

Answer 1

While the compass is near the magnet or a magnetic field, the compass will be off. That is why you don't want to mount a compass near the engine of a car or boat. However, once the magnetic field is gone, the magnet is as accurate as it was before.

Answer 2

it depends on what side  you put near it

north or south?

Answer 3

If you can ask the question you know the answer.

if you have a compass pointing north, and you move a magnet near it, what happens? Does the compass still point in the same direction? If not, how does that affect accuracy?
