What is a magnetized needle that is attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole?

It is still a needle, but could be referred to as a compass needle.


How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?

A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).


How does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?

If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions


Does a compass point to the geographic north pole?

No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.


How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?

Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.


Why does a compass needle line itself up with the magnetic field?

a compass points the magnetic north pole,because the earth is tilted on an axis of 23 degrees, while spinning on this same axis.that is why a compass points to magnetic north and not true north.


How does a compass tell direction?

A compass works by aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field. The needle inside the compass is magnetized and points towards the magnetic north pole. By following the direction the needle points, you can determine which way is north.


In the southern hemisphere the north pole of a compass needle?

The north pole of a compass needle would still point point towards the north. More precisely, towards the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is close to the geographic north pole.


Which pole of a compass magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole?

The pole of the compass that is attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole must be a south magnetic pole. But here's the thing. In the compass, the south magnetic pole of the needle is marked "N" because that end of the compass needle points to earth's magnetic north. The only way the needle can point to earth's magnetic north is if that end of the needle, the one marked with an "N" on it, is a magnetic south pole. It almost seems counter intuitive, but think it through and it will become clear.


What pole does a needle on compass point to?

A compass needle points toward the Earth's magnetic north pole. This is due to the magnetic properties of the Earth, which causes the needle, which is a small magnet, to align itself with the Earth's magnetic field. It's important to note that the magnetic north pole is not the same as the geographic North Pole.
