Is it true that like poles of a magnet attract each other while unlike poles repel each other?
no because the north attracts north and the south attracts the south
Why compass neddle show north side always?
ACTUALLY in the north pole of the earth there is a south pole that attracts the north pole of a magnet by MRINMOY SAHA
Why a compass is attracted by the north pole but not the south pole?
The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).
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.
If North repels to South and South repels to North why does a compass point to Magnetic North?
North does NOT repel south, etc.; rather, north ATTRACTS south, and north REPELS north.What happens here is as follows. The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The north end of a compass is attracted by Earth's magnetic SOUTH pole; therefore, Earth's ACTUAL magnetic south pole is to the north. However, and confusingly, this has traditionally often been called Earth's magnetic north pole.
Is it true that like poles of a magnet attract each other while unlike poles repel each other?
no because the north attracts north and the south attracts the south
How are magnets used on cars?
the magnet in the car door attracts the other magnet like south and north so the door shuts
How are magnets used on car doors?
the magnet in the car door attracts the other magnet like south and north so the door shuts
Can one north side of a magnet attract to another north side?
No, the north side of a magnet only attracts to the south side of another magnet.
What does a magnet attact?
a magnet attracts metal or steel ( this is from nick prager). And also iron.
How do ends of a magnet differ?
Well, I'm not entirely sure, but if this helps, one end of the magnet is South (s) the other is north (n). The north attracts the south pole and the other way round. If north Poles or south) are put together they repel each other.
Why would to north poles on a magnet repel?
because the magnets have the same electric charges so they repel from each other so north attracts 2 south and south repels from south & north repels from north.
Why compass neddle show north side always?
ACTUALLY in the north pole of the earth there is a south pole that attracts the north pole of a magnet by MRINMOY SAHA
Using the north pole of a bar magnet how can you prove that a nail has become an electromagnet?
Put the South pole of the nail against the bar magnet to see if it attracts or repels.
Do a north and a north part of a magnet attract or repel?
Like polarities repel; unlike attract. So the north ends of two magnets repel each other, as do two south ends, while a north end and a south end mutually attract. North + North = Repell South + South = Repell North + South = Attract South + North = Attract
Which pole on a magnet attracts each other?
Yes, the North and South poles of a magnet attract each other. Furthermore, two North or two South poles will repel each other and no matter how many times you cut a magnet in half, it will always have a North and South pole.
A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
