Yes. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed, so that the magnetic north pole has become the magnetic south pole, several times that scientists are sure of. We know this because when magma (molten volcanic rock) cools, it freezes the magnetic orientation that the Earth's magnetic field imposed on the liquid magma.

What is the charge of the poles?

The charge on north pole is Positive (+ve) and south pole has a Negative (-ve) charge.


What is the charge of a magnet's north pole?

We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.


Does a magnet's poles all have the same charge?

No, a magnet's poles do not have the same charge. One pole is a north pole and the other pole is a south pole, resulting in opposite charges.


Is the north pole a negative charge?

Magnets are said to have a "north pole" and a "south pole". Traditionally, the north pole of a magnet is the side that would be attracted toward the North Pole of the Earth in a compass. Since opposite magnetic poles attract, the Earth's "Magnetic North Pole" is physically a magnetic south pole.To answer the question... No, the north pole is not a negative charge. We speak of north and south poles in magnetism. We speak of positive and negative charges in electrostatics.


How many miles is it from the south pole to the north pole?

It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.


What Location is at 90 Latitude?

The North Pole is at 90 North & the South Pole is at 90 South.


Can you separate the poles of magnet?

No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.

Where is Arctic North pole or South pole?

the arctic is the north pole antarctica is the south pole :)


What are the characteristics of the north and south poles of both a magnet and the earth?

The North pole of a magnet or Earth attracts the South pole, while repelling the North pole. The South pole attracts the North pole and repels the South pole. For Earth, the North magnetic pole is located near the geographic North pole, and the South magnetic pole is near the geographic South pole.


How do the north and south poles of a solenoid change with the direction of current flow?

The north and south poles of a solenoid change depending on the direction of the current flow. When the current flows in one direction, the north pole of the solenoid is at one end and the south pole is at the other end. If the current flows in the opposite direction, the poles switch places, with the south pole at the end where the north pole was and vice versa.


What pole is positive?

The pole that is positive in a magnetic or electric system is the one that has a north or positive charge associated with it. In magnets, the north pole is considered positive, while in circuits, the positive pole is often associated with the direction of conventional current flow.
