Recall the observed behavior of the compass during the mapping of the magnetic field. Which of the following descriptions best matches the behavior you observed? Two correct answers required for full credit.

A. Where the field is strong the compass needle readily and quickly aligns with rapid oscillations around the equilibrium direction.

B. Where the field is strong the compass needle slowly oscillates around the final equilibrium position.

C. Where the field is weak the compass needle rapidly oscillates around the final equilibrium position.

D. Where the field is weak the compass needle slowly oscillates around the final equilibrium position.

E. Where the field is weak the compass needle readily and quickly aligns with rapid oscillations around the equilibrium direction.
