Not exactly. The magnetic North Pole is near to the true North Pole but not exactly the same point.

Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?

The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.

If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?

If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.


Does a compass only have a north pole?

No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?

The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.


What type of magnetic poles do the domains at the north pole of a magnet have?

The domains at the north pole of a magnet have their magnetic poles pointing outward, creating a magnetic field that attracts the south pole of other magnets. Each domain has its magnetic north pole facing outward at the surface of the magnet.


Is the North Pole of a magnet plus or?

The North Pole of a magnet is traditionally considered the "north" end because it is attracted to the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is actually a magnetic south pole. In magnetism, opposite poles attract, so the North Pole of a magnet is a magnetic north pole, while the Earth's North Pole behaves like a magnetic south pole. Therefore, the North Pole of a magnet is not "plus" but is simply referred to as the North Pole.
