What types of magnetic pole attracts an N pole?
the south pole attracts the north pole. That means the opposite poles attracts and same poles repels.
What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
Which pole of a compass magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole?
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.
Which end of magnet points to the north?
the south end because N is attracted to S.A2.To avoid confusion as to whether it is the compass or the earth that has the N pole, when referring to hand-held devices, it is better to speak of "the north seeking end", or the "south seeking end".

Why do magnets always align in N-S direction?
Magnets always align in N-S direction because the earth itself behaves lika a huge bar magnet. The north pole of the bar magnet attracts the geographical south pole and the south pole attracts the geographical north pole. That is why magnets always align in N-S direction.
Why does the N pole of a compass points toward northern Canada using the terms magnetic pole and magnetic field?
The N pole of a compass points towards northern Canada because Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. The Earth's magnetic north pole is located near northern Canada, so the N pole of a compass aligns with this magnetic field direction.
What is tte magnetic interactions and magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles. These are of two types:- 1. N-pole(north pole) 2. S-pole(south pole) north pole one magnet repels towards north pole of other magnet.similarly south pole does. Are called magnetic intereactions.
Where in a bar magnetic is the magnetic flux the strongest?
The magnetic flux of a magnet is strongest in its poles. There poles of a magnet are those points where the magnetic lines of force emanate and enter. The poles are termed as north and south. The north pole is also called the N-pole or the north-seeking pole. Consequently, the south pole may also be referred to as the S-pole or the south-seeking pole.
How do north and south poles of 2 magnets react to each other?
The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet, while the north pole repels the north pole and the south pole repels the south pole. This is based on the principles of magnetic attraction and repulsion.
Where does the magnetic point on a compass lead us to?
The magnetic point on a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole, which is not exactly the same as true north. This difference is known as magnetic declination and needs to be accounted for when using a compass for navigation.
What is Earths magnetic pole?
The Earth's magnetic north pole is a point at the top of the northern hemisphere where the magnetic pull is straight down, toward the Earth's core. It is not the same as the Earth's geographic north pole. The geographic north pole is fixed at geodetic latitude 90° North. However, the magnetic north pole drifts, based on magnetic changes to the Earth's core. Some scientists think it is drifting toward Siberia 34-37 miles (55-60 km) per year, and can vary from day-to-day up to 50 miles (80 km) per day, because of the Earth's elliptical movement. Here are some measurements of the location of the Earth's magnetic pole: In 1831 = 70°5.3'N 96°46.0'W In 1904 = 70°31'N 96°34'W In 1930 = 72.3°N 98.7°W In 1994 = 78.3°N 104.0°W? In 2001 = 81.3°N 110.8°W? In 2005 = 82.7°N 114.4°W? In 2007 = 83.95°N 120.72°W In 2010 = 85.0°N 132.6°W In 2011 = 85.1°N 134.0°W The pole wanders daily in a roughly elliptical path around this average position, and may frequently be as much as 80 kilometers away from this position when the Earth's magnetic field is disturbed.
