No. You will reach to the North Magnetic Pole instead, which is a fair distance from the True North Pole, as the magnet always points North due to Earth's magnetic fields. The distance between the two North Poles are also changing, as Earth's magnetic fields will turn. The current South Pole will be the next North Magnetic Pole in the far future.
yes
We know that it is a natural property for a magnet to attract unlike poles Earth itself is a bar magnet..So there is a tiny magnet in the compass which makes it to get attracted to north pole (i.e-Magnetic south pole is Geographic North pole,Magnetic North pole is Geographic South pole)That is -when compass is pointing North pole(magnectically)It is pointing Geographic South pole... Thanks**** Hope it was helpful!!!!
No, a compass points to magnetic north, which may not align perfectly with geographic north in certain locations due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field.
the pole of the compass is attracted to the earths geographic north pole
Because if you have a compass it will have north pointing up
No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.
A compass will never stop pointing north unless it is close to a magnet.
If you follow a compass going north, you reach close to the North Pole.
The north pole.
The compass rose is the compass pointing North, South, East, and West, on a map.
"IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?"
Magnets, man...
A compass is a free-spinning magnet that will align itself to be parallel to the Earth's magnetic field lines. Since the Earth's magnetic poles are located relatively close to its geographic poles, a compass pointing to Earth's magnetic north pole also indicates the general direction of Earth's geographic north pole.
