The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
A north pole will repel a south pole true or false?
False only a north and north would repel and south with south would repel Opposites attract
What two south magnetic poles brought near each other?
Two south (or two north) magnetic poles will repel each other. A south and north pole will attract each other.
Explain in brief the properties of magnet?
A magnet has both a South pole and a North pole. The magnetic properties of a magnet come from the alignment of electrons inside of the magnet. The North pole of a magnet will repel another North pole, but attract a South pole, and vice versa.
Why are magnetic field lines conventionally taken to emanate from north pole to south pole?
magnetic lines of forces tavel from north pole to south pole because they are defined in that way. i mean to say as we know that the lines of forces are not real they are just been assumed for our calculations . now as lines of force has been defined as the path traced by a unit north pole when placed in a magnetic field then the lines of force will always start from a north pole and travel towards south pole as north pole repel unit north pole and south pole attract it.
Do magnetic poles that are different repel each other?
"Like" magnetic poles repel one another. "Unlike" poles attract one another. In other words, a North pole and a North pole would repel while a North pole and a South pole would be attracted.
What happens if like magnetic forces come in contact with one another?
If you put north pole against north pole it will repel and if you put south pole against south pole it will also repel but if you put north pole against south pole it will attract. This is because 2 poles will not attract the same poles but different poles will.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
If North repels to South and South repels to North why does a compass point to Magnetic North?
North does NOT repel south, etc.; rather, north ATTRACTS south, and north REPELS north.What happens here is as follows. The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The north end of a compass is attracted by Earth's magnetic SOUTH pole; therefore, Earth's ACTUAL magnetic south pole is to the north. However, and confusingly, this has traditionally often been called Earth's magnetic north pole.
Is magnetic north at the top of the earth?
No. Remember that like poles repel. What we call the Earth's north is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field.
A north pole will repel a south pole true or false?
False only a north and north would repel and south with south would repel Opposites attract
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
Why does south pole of the compass always point to the north while north pole always points to the south?
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
Is magnetic at the top of the earth?
No. Remember that like poles repel. What we call the Earth's north is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field.
What two south magnetic poles brought near each other?
Two south (or two north) magnetic poles will repel each other. A south and north pole will attract each other.
Why does the magnetic north part of a compass needle point towards geographic north if like poles are suppose to repel?
Technically earth's northern magnetic pole is the south pole of its magnetic field. The north and south poles on normal magnets are derived from the fact that they are "north seeking" and "south seeking" respectively when made into a compass.
