As the sides repel each other
It's already there. Where would it point to? Mind you, the north pole and the magnetic north are not the same thing, so it would actually point to magnetic north.
AnswerThe earth behaves as though there were a giant bar magnet buried deep within its surface. Magnetic North is the location where the magnetic lines of force (flux) are perpendicular to the earth's surface. So, at this point, if the magnet or compass were able to, it would point vertically downwards. If it is only able to rotate horizontally, then it may just spin haphazardly.
At True North, which is hundreds of miles away from Magnetic North, the magnet or compass would point towards Magnetic North.
What else can I help you with?
Where would a magnet not point North?
at the North Pole
Which end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet?
The north end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet.
If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or 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.
What would a freely suspended magnet do?
A freely suspended magnet will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north pole, and the south pole will point towards the geographic south pole.
In which direction do magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet?
Magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet.
When you freely suspend a magnet which pole rests in north direction and which in south?
When a magnet is freely suspended, its north pole will align itself with the Earth's magnetic north, which is actually a magnetic south pole. Therefore, the north pole of the magnet will point toward the geographic North Pole, while the south pole of the magnet will point toward the geographic South Pole. This alignment occurs due to the magnetic field of the Earth.
Where will the North pole of a suspended magnet point to?
On a compass, the needle points toward the North Magnetic Pole (not precisely the same as the geographic North Pole). The "north pole" of a magnet is defined according to the Earth's magnetic field (or by application of the "right hand rule" of electromagnetic field generation).
Will the north end of a suspended magnet point to the magnetic north pole?
true, if the the magnet is not labeled the north end will always point towards the north pole.
How do we know its the south pole of the magnet?
The south pole of a magnet is typically determined by observing its attraction or repulsion to the north pole of another magnet. The Earth's magnetic field can also help identify the south pole of a magnet, as the north-seeking pole of a compass needle will point towards the Earth's magnetic south pole.
Is the North Pole really a magnet?
Not exactly. The magnetic North Pole is near to the true North Pole but not exactly the same point.
How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
If you hang a magnet on a piece of cotton which way would it point?
The magnet would point towards either the North or South pole, depending on the orientation of the magnet. This is due to the Earth's magnetic field which influences the alignment of the magnet.
