They vary widely and are not regular, but the earth's magnetic poles have flipped as frequently as twice in a 50,000 year timespan but have also held steady (not reversed) over as many as 50 million years.

Reverse the poles produced in a coil?

To reverse the poles produced in a coil, you can simply reverse the direction of the current flow through the coil. This will change the magnetic field orientation and reverse the poles.


Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?

No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
