The Earth is a spinning sphere, and the axis of the rotation matches the Earth's surface at the north pole and the south pole. If the Earth had an axle, that's where they would poke out.
The Earth is also a giant magnet, like an enormous bar magnet. The orientation of this magnet, and the magnetic lines of force from it, are not lined up with the physical axis of the Earth's rotation. The "north magnetic pole" is somewhere in northern Canada, while the south magnetic pole is in Antarctica.
When navigating with a magnetic compass, the compass doesn't point at the north pole; it points to the north MAGNETIC pole. In most of Europe, there wasn't a whole lot of difference, but in North America, the difference between true and magnetic north can be dozens of degrees. Navigational maps will list lines of "magnetic variation", which is the difference between true north and magnetic north, so that you can apply the appropriate correction.
What else can I help you with?
Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
What layer acts like a giant magnet and what does it attract?
The Earth's magnetic field is like a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the south pole.
Does the Aurora Borealis form at the South Pole?
No.Aurora at the South Pole are called aurora austalis, and are caused by the same solar magnetic phenomenon that creates aurora borealis.
Which direction do magnetic field lines go from north to south?
Ah, let me share with you the beautiful world of magnetic fields! Just like a gentle breeze flowing from north to south, magnetic field lines also travel from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole. It's all part of nature's way of creating balance and harmony in the world around us. Let's appreciate the simple wonders of physics today!
How was a compass made?
Lets see the concept. With the discovery of magnet, many travelers began using it for navigation. This is because the magnetic south pole always points in the north direction and the magnetic north pole always points in the south direction. Correction The end of the compass needle that points to the North is a north pole, and the end that points to the South is a south pole.
Did Magnetic Pole gets its name from North Pole and South Pole?
no
How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?
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 end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
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.
What are the polarity of earth's north and south poles?
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Which magnetic pole is attracted to a south magnetic pole?
North.
What does magnets have?
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
What is the South Pole's magnetic charge?
The South Pole of the Earth's magnetic field is considered to be the magnetic south pole, where the magnetic field lines point into the Earth. This is opposite to the geographic south pole, which is the point that lies at the southernmost tip of the Earth's axis of rotation.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
Is the magnetic pole near north or south?
Both, there ia a North and South Magnetic pole.
What pulls the South Pole of a magnetic compass?
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.
Is the magnetic pole in the northern hemisphere a south pole?
If you (as is practise) call the end of a magnet that points north when suspended freely the "North" pole, then Yes, the place in Canada where the "Magnetic North pole" is is really magnetically a South pole (has the same magnetic moment as the end of the bar magnet that points south). Confusing enough?
