Why a compass is attracted by the north pole but not the south pole?
The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).
Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
The south pole of the compass needle will be attracted to earths?
North pole. The north pole of a compass needle has "S" on it, and the south pole of the needle has "N" on it. Opposites attract, similar poles repel.
The south pole of a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Which pole (north or south) of a compass magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole?
spins
Where does a compass not point north?
When standing on the Magnetic North Pole, your compass will only South!
What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
What are the two poles of a magnet?
North pole and South pole. This can be easily identified using a compass. Be careful not to re-magnatize the compass.
Which of following is true of compasses?
A compass has both a south pole and a north pole :)
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Is the compass magnetic needle attracted to the south pole?
To the magnetic north pole
How did they find out that the north pole and south pole are magnetized?
By observing a compass needle.
