Why a magnetic compass does not show the exact geographical poles?
A magnetic compass points towards the magnetic north pole, not the geographical north pole. The magnetic north pole is located slightly offset from the geographical north pole due to the Earth's magnetic field, which changes over time. Additionally, local magnetic variations can also affect the accuracy of a magnetic compass.

To identify the north pole of a magnet, make a compass out of it by hanging it on a string or floating it on water. The pole that faces geographic north is the north pole. Once you have a magnets poles labelled, you can use it to identify orientation and poles on another magnet since like poles repel and opposite poles attract.Alternative AnswerEasier still, use a compass!
