At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
What is an example of earths magnetic field?
Earth's magnetic field is like a giant bar magnet with the magnetic North and South poles located near the geographic North and South poles. This field extends from the Earth's core out into space, protecting the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation. It is what causes compass needles to point north.
If like magnets repel why does north pole of magnet point towards earths north pole instead of the south pole?
Think about this,What leads you to believe that it is the north magnetic pole of the earth that the compass is pointing to? See the link. The answer is a bit mind-bending. The magnetic pole of the earth that is located near our ' geographic north pole' is magnetically a 'south' pole. Strange but true.AnswerThe answer is simple and straightforward. And it's not strange in the least!The first and most important thing to understand is that the terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' describe locations, or directions, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of those locations. They are called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South', not to identify their magnetic polarities.The end of a magnet that points to the location, 'Magnetic North', was, for obvious reasons, originally named its 'north-seeking pole'. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and we now call that end of a magnet its 'north pole'. As well as indicating the direction in which it points, it is also used to describe its magnetic polarity.As 'unlike poles attract', in order to attract the 'north pole' of a magnet, the earth's Magnetic North Pole location must have a south magnetic polarity.
Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
Can the earths magnetic field move?
Yes it can reverse from North to South
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?
idontknow
Where is the Earths magnetic field at its strongest?
The Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the North and South magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic North and South poles. The magnetic field strength varies at different locations on the Earth's surface.
What do scientist not know about earths magnetic field?
When the north pole becomes the south pole.
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
What magnet use in the compass?
non the compass uses the earths magnetic field that is why the north pole and south pole is the most important directions because the north and south pole have the most highest magnetic feilds
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
What is the direction of the magnetic field from north to south?
The direction of the magnetic field is from north to south.
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.
Where is earths magnetic North Pole?
compasses point to it. its at the north pole in the arcticNo It's not, the Magnetic North Pole is at this moment just off Ellesmere Island heading towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year.AnswerIt depends what you mean by 'magnetic north pole'. If you mean the location, called 'Magnetic North' (arctic), then its polarity is south. If, by 'magnetic north pole', you mean its magnetic polarity, then it's located at Magnetic South (antarctic).
