Except near the Earth's magnetic poles, the south pole of a compass points toward the south.
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The north end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet.
A compass will always point to the south pole of a magnet.
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
When standing on the Magnetic North Pole, your compass will only South!
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.
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
Use a compass. It will point to a magnet's south pole.
No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.
North south east and west
Compass needles are permanent magnets. in response to the Earth's magnetic field, the compass needle will point toward the geographic North Pole.
