What else can I help you with?
Has the magnetic field of the ever flipped?
Yes, the magnetic field of the earth has flipped. The evidence is in fired pottery in historical times.
Does the earth's magnetic field ever chage positions?
Yes- in the distant geologic past it has flipped several times, as shown by the orientation of metallic minerals in rock that formed at those times, especially that of the seafloor.
Has earths magnetic field ever moved or changed?
Yes, Earth's magnetic field has changed throughout its history. This change is known as geomagnetic reversal, where the magnetic north and south poles switch places. This phenomenon has occurred multiple times over the millions of years of Earth's existence.
Has the magnetic field of the earth ever flipped?
The earth's magnetic field has shifted or flipped on occasion. These events are recorded in lava formations and are well documented. The earth's magnetic field is currently weakening at a rather brisk rate, but there is more to this than meets the eye. Although not commonly accepted, the earth, sun, solar system and the entire universe are easily defined as electrical in nature. We won't really understand what's happening here until we fully understand that energy and matter are but two forms of the same 'thing'.
How does the magnetic field of Saturn compare to that of Earth?
Well hello friend! The magnetic field of Saturn is actually much stronger than Earth's, stretching out over its particular space in a different way. Have you ever sat outside and watched the clouds drift by, soaking in the beauty of the sky? Just like each cloud is unique and special, so are the magnetic fields of Saturn and Earth.
Do magnetic field lines ever intersect?
yes
What happens when a magnetic compass is held in space far away from earth's magnetic field....will it be influenced by the other stellar objects which may or may not have magnetic poles of their own?
How far away? Compasses function based on their interaction with the Earth's magnetic field. If a person were to take a compass outside of that field, it would cease to provide any relevant information. Of course, no human has ever been anywhere near that far away, but interplanetary robots and probes have.
WILL The exact location where a compass points will ever change?
No, the exact location where a compass points (magnetic north) does not change. However, the magnetic poles themselves can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
What is belived to be responsible for the earth's magnetic field?
The earth's magnetic field arises from the core of the earth(that we know) but why? Have you ever heard of lodestones? Well they are naturally occurring magnets. They are basically composed of ferromagnetic materials like iron. Their magnetic property arises because the iron stays aligned with the magnetic field lines of the earth leading to a change in the arrangement of their electrons. But our discussion is for the origin of earth's magnetism. Well the core of the earth is composed of materials like Nickel and Iron, hence the core is sometimes called NiFe. Due to hot temperatures and pressure the electrons in the core are constantly changing positions and hence giving out a magnetic flux. The flux density is what gives the field.
When does the north pole become the south pole and the south pole become the north pole?
Answer The answer is no, of course not! It is the magnetic polarity of the earth that is being flipped, not the locations of Magnetic North and Magnetic South. Remember, 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locations, not magnetic poles. So even if their magnetic polarities flip, the names of the locations won't ever change! All that would happen is that the magnetic field would reverse, and your compass would point to Magnetic South instead of Magnetic North.Think of it this way, if the magnetic polarity of the earth flips, you wouldn't swap the names 'Arctic' and 'Antarctic'! So, why would you swap the names 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South'!!!!!
Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Yes, a changing magnetic field can induce a steady electric field. This is described by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field creates an electric field in the surrounding space.
What is the invisible force around a magnet called?
Have you ever seen a magnet? Did you see the field? There you go. While you can't see the field itself directly, you can see the effects of the field if you use iron filings or something like that; they'll line up with the magnetic field lines
