If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or south?
because inside of the earth acts like a big magnet and the magnet points to the north
Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
What way does the south pole of a compass point toward?
Except near the Earth's magnetic poles, the south pole of a compass points toward the south.
How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
How could you find the North Pole of magnet?
Suspend the magnet on a string at its CG, so it balances. The end that points north is its north pole.Alternative AnswerUse a compass. It will be attracted to the magnet's south pole.
Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

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.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Why does the N pole of a compass points toward northern Canada using the terms magnetic pole and magnetic field?
The magnetic field points north and there is a south facing magnet will point north so and the earth is on a 33.3 degree axis. This is why is will point to Canada.
Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?
That depends on which pole of the magnet it is moved close to. If it is brought close to the "South" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be attracted to the magnet. If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
What happens when a compass is near a magnet?
Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.
