North pole. The north pole of a compass needle has "S" on it, and the south pole of the needle has "N" on it.
Opposites attract, similar poles repel.
The south pole of the compass needle is attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole situated at the Southern Hemisphere of the earth.
The compass needle is attracted by the Earth's magnetic field.
The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).
they're magnetically charged and therefore attracted to the North Pole
The magnetized needle of a compass is attracted to the Earth's own magnetic field which has magnetic poles at the North and South.
no
To the magnetic north pole
The compass needle is attracted by the Earth's magnetic field.
The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).

A compass contains a needle which shows the holder north and south when the needle turns. A compass contains a lightweight magnet and fricitionless bearing to connect with the earths magnetic field otherwise the needle cannot be turned.
The pole of the compass that is attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole must be a south magnetic pole. But here's the thing. In the compass, the south magnetic pole of the needle is marked "N" because that end of the compass needle points to earth's magnetic north. The only way the needle can point to earth's magnetic north is if that end of the needle, the one marked with an "N" on it, is a magnetic south pole. It almost seems counter intuitive, but think it through and it will become clear.

The needle of a compass is a magnet, and the earth is also a magnet. The side of the compass marked N is attracted to the north pole of the Earth, and the side marked S is attracted to Earth's south pole. The compass will spin to line itself up with the poles it is attracted to. However, if you have other magnets nearby, the compass can spin to line itself up with those instead.
The magnetized needle of a compass is attracted to the Earth's own magnetic field which has magnetic poles at the North and South.
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
