How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
Why does the needle of a compass point south when it's put on a bar magnet?
When a compass needle is placed near a bar magnet, it aligns itself with the magnetic field created by the magnet. The compass needle is a small magnet itself, with its north pole attracted to the south pole of the bar magnet and repelled by its north pole. If the compass needle points south, it indicates that the bar magnet's south pole is near the compass's north pole, demonstrating the fundamental property of magnetic attraction and repulsion. Thus, the orientation of the compass needle reflects the magnetic field direction of the bar magnet.
Why is the earth called a big magnet?
I would hesitate to hang the label "true" on that statement, but it isn't completely false either. The Earth does have a magnetic field.
Describe the effects and evidence of Earth's magnetic field?
The magnetic field can easily be noted if you hang a magnet from a piece of string, or use a compass; the compass needle is also magnetic. The idea is for the compass or hanging magnet to be able to freely rotate. Since the north pole of the compass needles points north, you can conclude that the south pole of planet Earth is towards the north. Remember that opposite poles attract each other.
How does the Earths magnetism help us find your way?
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 . . . . . .
What would happen when a magnet meet to the south and south and north and north?
the magnet will repel
What does the s and the n mean in a magnet?
NORTH AND SOUTH
How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
Why does a magnet rest at its north-south position?
A magnet rests at its north-south position due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to align in a north-south direction.
It has north and south poles?
A magnet has a north and a south pole.
What is a magnet called with north and south poles?
A magnet with distinct north and south poles is called a "bar magnet." This type of magnet generates a magnetic field that has a direction, indicated by the orientation of its poles. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north, while the south pole is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
If you broke a magnet in two would you have isolated north and south poles?
No, breaking a magnet in two does not isolate the north and south poles. Each resulting piece would still have its own north and south poles. A magnet will always have both north and south poles regardless of its size or shape.
What poles of a magnet attract and repel?
the north to north south to south don't south and north do.
Opposite poles of magnet?
The opposite poles of a magnet are the north and south poles. These poles attract each other, meaning that the north pole of one magnet will be attracted to the south pole of another magnet. Conversely, like poles (north-north or south-south) repel each other.
What are north and south ends of a magnet called?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
Where is magnet strongest?
A magnet is strongest at the North and South Poles.
