Can a solenoid suspended by a string be used as a compass?
A solenoid can be used as a compass when a DC current is going through it because when a current is going through the solenoid, the magnetic field lines are nearly uniform and perfectly parallel inside of it, giving it essentially a north pole and south pole.
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.
How do bar magnets work?
Same as how the North Pole and South Pole works.
Where is the force of a magnet the strongest?
It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole.
Why does a compass needle point in the north and south direction?
Because of the magnetic pull of the north and south pole.
Does a compass change directions South of the equator?
No, the north seeking pole remains a north seeking pole.
Where on earth is the sun's rays spread out thinly all the time?
North and south pole
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.
What lets the north pole and south pole of a solenoid be able to change poles?
The poles of the solenoid depend on the direction of the current through the coil. The current reverses if you just reverse the polarity of the voltage between the ends of the coil. Heck, if you energize the coil with AC, you can do that 120 times every second.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
90° north latitude (the north pole) and 90° south latitude (the south pole)
what poles are unlike a magnet?
North pole and South pole
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.
What you the latitude of the North pole and south pole?
The latitude at the north pole is 90° North. Thg elatitude at the south pole is 90° South.
Where is Arctic North pole or South pole?
the arctic is the north pole antarctica is the south pole :)
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The point farthest north on the earth is called?
The North Pole.
