Answer:

The compass will indicate a turn to the left.

Explanation:

The magnetic compass has a needle pointing towards north. It is used for navigation and it shows direction with respect to the geographical cardinal direction.

As we move to the right of the northerly heading in northern Hemisphere, the direction of needle will move towards left but with a faster rate as now the direction of north is no his left.

This shows the compass if following its direction properly.
