Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
The earth has a magnetic field which is similar to a magnetic bar tilted 11 degrees. This is caused because of the North and South pole.
True North is the real North, following along the lines of longitude which converge at the North Pole, the farthest geographically North point on the planet, and the rotational axis of the planet. Magnetic North and Compass North are both the same thing, with the compass pointing along Magnetic North. Magnetic North however, is not the real North. If you were to follow your compass as far North as it could point, you would end up on the Prince of Wales Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada, over 1,500 miles away from the North Pole. Magnetic North can be adjusted to True North on your compass by knowing the local magnetic variation of your area and adding/subtracting accordingly. A third North is Grid North, which follows the Grid Lines on a standard map. At the South Pole, every direction is True North, so Grid North is used instead and can be found by following the Prime Meridian northwards. Hope that helps.
As such till now there is no proper or valid theory to prove or explain the cause of earth's magnetic field. A bar magnet or a magnetic compass alligns itself in the direction of earth's magnetic field. This process happens as south pole of magnet alligns itself to north pole of earth n vice versa true north pole is southpole of magnet. Exact location of places can be done by calculating the magnetic flux density n various other factor . . . . . .
Magnetic northNorth.In line with the earth's magnetic field.A way to remember the four directions on a compass is Never Eat Soggy Waffles or Never Eat Slimy Worms.magnetic north
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
North.
This is a stretch, but in addition to the true South Pole, and the magnetic South Pole -- which drifts, you can find the ceremonial South Pole near the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Both, there ia a North and South Magnetic pole.
The Geographical South Pole, The Magnetic South Pole and The Southern Pole of Inaccessibility.
the north pole and south pole
Yep. The north obviously, and the south. Additionally, you'll have the North Pole and South Pole proper, as well as the North Magnetic Pole and South Magnetic Pole.
