When talking about magnetic objects, bringing a north pole and a south pole together, will cause them to attract each other. If you are talking about a physical object, such as the planet Earth, bringing the two poles together would result in the total collapse of the planet, possibly creating a flattened sphere, resembling a large Pizza, with the anchovies dripping from the periphery.

Why do explorers in the Arctic and Antarctic rarely use a compass to find the orientation?
Explorers working on either pole of the earth don't use compasses because they don't work accurately so far north or so far south. The way a compass works is by using a magnet with a "north" pole and a "south" pole. If you've ever held two magnets near each other, you may have noticed that they will either stick together or push apart. That's because of their poles. North and south stick together, but north and north or south and south will not.The earth is like a gigantic magnet. Its north pole is the same as the south pole of a magnet, so on a compass the north arrow points towards the north pole.You could think of it this way: at the north pole and the south pole the compass won't work because the north pole is all one side of a magnet and the south pole is all the other side of it. So when you have a compass at the north pole, it's both attracted and repelled at the same time so it ends up pointing in some random direction or toward the closest piece of metal that a magnet will stick to.Now let's pretend for a moment that you have a really fancy compass that works accurately even at the north pole. If you used the compass to find your way all the way to the very tip of the earth, you would be at the most north point. If you then went true east (east according to a map) then your compass would do something funny. Instead of pointing north, your compass would be pointing west!
What happens if like magnetic forces come in contact with one another?
If you put north pole against north pole it will repel and if you put south pole against south pole it will also repel but if you put north pole against south pole it will attract. This is because 2 poles will not attract the same poles but different poles will.
How do bar magnets work?
Same as how the North Pole and South Pole works.
Where is the force of a magnet the strongest?
It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole.
Why does a compass needle point in the north and south direction?
Because of the magnetic pull of the north and south pole.
When two simple magnets are brought together the north pole of one will attract no part of the other?
south pole
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
Get attracted and stick on together
How does a magnet's north pole behave when brought near another north pole near a magnet's south pole?
When two of the same poles are brought together they will repel each other. When opposite poles are brought together they attract. Your question was a little unclear, so I hope this helps.
How does a magnets north pole behave when brought near another north pole near a magnets south pole?
When two of the same poles are brought together they will repel each other. When opposite poles are brought together they attract. Your question was a little unclear, so I hope this helps.
When to magnets are brought together the north pole of one will attract blank of the other?
South. hence "opposites attract"
How does a magnet's north pole behave when brought near another north polenear a magnet south pole?
When two of the same poles are brought together they will repel each other. When opposite poles are brought together they attract. Your question was a little unclear, so I hope this helps.
What will the north pole of two bars magnets do when brought together?
They will repel each other. Here is a explanation: "-" means they will attract "*" means they will repel South-North North-South North*North South*South Basically, they need to be opposite to attract each other :)
When a north and a south pole are together what hapends?
They magnetically "stick" together.
Do all meridians come together at north pole?
Yes, and again at the south pole.
Where on earth is the sun's rays spread out thinly all the time?
North and south pole
What is the effect make magnet interact with another magnet?
their magnetic poles atract the opposite charge in order to optain the other charge. therefore they pull together to conect with a negative(-) and positive(+) because one end is filled with negative but needs positive and vise versa so when you put a + and + they don't need each other so the pushaway,same goes with negative poles
How many miles is it from the south pole to the north pole?
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
