How can you show that the geographic north pole behaves as a magnetic south pole?
The geographic north pole behaves as a magnetic south pole because opposite magnetic poles attract each other. This means that the north-seeking pole of a compass needle (which is used to determine direction) points toward the magnetic north pole, which is near the geographic north pole. Thus, the geographic north pole is essentially a magnetic south pole in terms of magnetism.
Why is it that the Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole?
The Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole because the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This movement creates a magnetic field that aligns with the geographic north pole, causing it to act as a magnetic south pole.
Is the magnetic north pole located in the south?
No, the magnetic north pole is not located in the south. It is located in the Arctic region, near the geographic North 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.
Are the locations of the magnetic South Pole and the geographic North Pole near Antarctica or the Arctic?
Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Are the North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
No. The magnetic pole wanders quite a bit - even towards the south rotational pole at times.
How is the magnetic North Pole different from the geographic North Pole?
Magnetic north pole is where your compass will point. Geographic North pole is at the "top" of the globe. If you put a pole straigh thru the earth from the north pole to the south it would be a straigh line.Magnetic north and south poles can and do move because the eath's magnetic field flucuates.The geographical or 'true'' north pole is the point where the Earth's axis line touches the Earth's northernmost surface. That is somewhere in the (northern) Arctic Ocean.The location of the magnetic north (and south) pole 'travel around' over time. Today the magnetic south pole - strange as it may sound - is located in the north of Canada, the magnetic north pole in southern Antarctica.
What pulls the South Pole of a magnetic compass?
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
North is the direction toward the what?
North is the direction toward the North Pole or geographic North.
Are the magnetic pole and the geographic north pole always the same distance apart?
The Geographic Poles are fixed at the earth's axis of rotation. The Magnetic Poles are located within a few hundred kilometres, but wander. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North (the location) is south, which is why it attracts the north pole of a compass needle.
Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
