What will be the position of the freely suspended magnet in a region over the earths magnetic pole?
from south to north
Why is the magnetic field produced by a cylindrical solenoid is similar to a cylindrical permanent magnet?
Simple Answer:The shape of the magnetic field of a uniformly wound solenoid is very nearly identical to the field produced by a uniformly magnetized permanent magnet with the same physical shape as the solenoid.For the Experts:This is a consequence of the mathematical equivalence of the source of the magnetic field as created by a current and the source of a magnetic field as created by the curl of the magnetization density of permanent magnet.
What is the definition of magnetic reversal?
The revels of the Earths magnet poles that has occurred at Irregular intervals averaging approximately one millions years.
Why are magnet patterns important evidence for plate tectonics?
magnetic rocks on the ocean floor show that the Earths magnetic field has been frequently reversed forming new sea floor.
What is a magnetic force of a magnet called?
The magnetic force of a magnet is called magnetism.
What does the Earths magnetic field resemble?
That of bar magnet..
What is one of using a bar magnet as a model of earths magnetic field?
HHSHHS
How do you know that there is not a huge permanent magnet at the earths core?
For one, the magnetic field changes continuously; this is not consistent with a permanent magnet.
How is earths magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet?
electric current in a solenoid coil
What is one benefit of using a bar magnet as a model of earths magnetic field?
HHSHHS
What shape of a permanent magnet corresponds to the magnetic field formed by a solenoid?
The magnetic field produced by electric current in a solenoid coil is similar to that of a bar magnet.
What will be the position of the freely suspended magnet in a region over the earths magnetic pole?
from south to north
How a compass can be used to trace the magnetic field of the magnet?
The pull of the magnet will over ride the earths magnetism. So the compass will react to the magnet as it passes through its field.
Is the magnetic pull of the earths stohg enough to pull a two ton magnet down a track?
AnswerNo.
Is the magnetic field strong at the magnetic poles?
this is because the concentration of domains is greater at poles as compared to inside of magnet
Compass magnets can only be deflected by electromagnets such as Earth's magnetic field?
This is FALSE. TWICE!The Earths magnetic Field is not Electromagnetic.A compass can be deflected by any Magnet.
Is a magnet magnetic?
Yes, a bar magnet is magnetic.
