What is the scientific term of polarity?
Polarity means, what kind of pole, which would either be an electrical pole with a positive charge and a negative charge, or a magnetic pole with a south pole and a north pole.
How to find positive on a magnet?
Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
In the southern hemisphere the north pole of a compass needle?
The north pole of a compass needle would still point point towards the north. More precisely, towards the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is close to the geographic north 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.
What pole is positive?
The answer is The South Pole of the Earth. The geographic South Pole is Magnetic North (positive) Pole and vice verse
What are the poles of the magnet called?
South Pole North Pole
Is the north pole a negative charge?
Magnets are said to have a "north pole" and a "south pole". Traditionally, the north pole of a magnet is the side that would be attracted toward the North Pole of the Earth in a compass. Since opposite magnetic poles attract, the Earth's "Magnetic North Pole" is physically a magnetic south pole.To answer the question... No, the north pole is not a negative charge. We speak of north and south poles in magnetism. We speak of positive and negative charges in electrostatics.
What is the charge of the poles?
The charge on north pole is Positive (+ve) and south pole has a Negative (-ve) charge.
What is the charge of a magnet's north pole?
We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.
What is the scientific term of polarity?
Polarity means, what kind of pole, which would either be an electrical pole with a positive charge and a negative charge, or a magnetic pole with a south pole and a north pole.
Is global warming happening just in the North Pole?
No, but you would see the most detrimental effect in the north pole because of large number of positive feedback loops.
Why are magnetic field lines conventionally taken to emanate from north pole to south pole?
magnetic lines of forces tavel from north pole to south pole because they are defined in that way. i mean to say as we know that the lines of forces are not real they are just been assumed for our calculations . now as lines of force has been defined as the path traced by a unit north pole when placed in a magnetic field then the lines of force will always start from a north pole and travel towards south pole as north pole repel unit north pole and south pole attract it.
How does a compass work off of magnetism?
There is a magnetic field surrounding the Earth. The positive pole of this magnetic field (called the north magnetic pole) is near the North Pole. A compass has a freely rotating needle that is magnetized such that one end of the needle points toward the north magnetic pole.
Where would yoube if you were at the maximum latitude?
-- At the maximum positive latitude, you would be at the north pole. -- At the maximum negative latitude, you would be at the south pole.
Is the north pole of a magnet positive?
Magnetic north is negative and magnetic south is positive. The resulting magnetic field lines go from north to south. Mnemonic: north = negative.AnswerThe terms, 'positive' and 'negative', are generally applied to electric charges, not to magnetic poles. Having said that, 'magnetic therapists' use the terms 'positive' and 'negative' when referring to magnetic poles -however, their knowledge of magnetism appears very shaky!Magnetic poles are normally identified as 'north' and 'south'. The 'direction' of a magnetic field, by convention, is the direction in which a compass needle would point when placed within that field -that is, from north to south.
What pole is it near?
The answer to that question could be "south", "negative", "positive" "Lech Walesa", or "north", depending on what "it" is.
