What is the difference between the magnetic field of the Earth and the magnetic field of a bar magnet?

How do you call the magnet that is used to pick up cars in a scrapyard?
It is simply called a scrap magnet. Ohio Magnetics and Walker both manufacturer scrap magnets.
What do you call an area of land that is higher transmitting in its surrounding and has a flat top?
high flat ground
What is The part of a magnet that points north is called?
The pole of the magnet that points to earth's magnetic north is the south pole of the magnetIt should be understood that the north pointing end of a compass is a North magnetic pole. That being so, the north pole of the earth got its name because of this fact. Actually, the north pole of the earth has a South magnetic polarity which attracts the north pole of the compass. The south pole of a magnet points to the south pole of the earth because the south pole has a north magnetic polarity. Confused? Just remember that true (magnetic) north resides in the magnet; not in the earth. dbm 7/16/09Clearer AnswerThe above answer is incorrect. The poles of a magnet were named after the directions in which they point. The earth's poles were NOT named after a magnet's poles!When a horizontally-suspended comes to rest, it points in an approximately North-South direction. For this reason, the end of the magnet pointing North was called the 'North-Seeking' pole, and the other end was called its 'South-Seeking' pole. We no longer use the terms 'seeking', and we now call the ends of a magnet its 'north pole' and 'south pole' and these terms are also used to define their magnetic polarities.To differentiate it from True North and True South, we say that the magnet actually points to Magnetic North and Magnetic South -these are the names given to directions (or location) NOT their magnetic polarities. So, because 'unlike poles attract', the magnetic polarity at the location we call 'Magnetic North' is a south pole which therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet.
Why are there north and south ends to a magnet?
Originally, the poles of a magnet were called the 'North-seeking pole' and the 'South-seeking pole', because they pointed towards the North (actually Magnetic North) and South respectively. Over time, we have dropped the 'seeking' part of the names and they are now known, simply, as the 'north pole' and the 'south pole' These terms were then used as the names of the magnetic polarities of a magnet. Because 'unlike poles attract', the location we call "Magnetic North" has a south magnetic polarity.
What do you call the little things that show up the magnetic field?
Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.
What do you call the force around a magnet?
the area of magnetic force around a magnet is called the magnetic field
What do you call the magnetic force around a magnet?
I'm pretty sure its the 'magnetic field'
Disadvantage of permanent magnet generator?
since the magnet are place in north and north direction or south and south direction, the magnet will continue to loose it magnetic force of attraction. for more question call me on 2348133605375.
What do we call a end of a magnet?
Those are called the poles of the magnet.
What do we call a the ends of a magnet?
poles
What you call the ends of a magnet?
poles
What you call the ends a magnet?
poles
What are the advantages and disadvantages of magnetism?
The magnet's poles( north and south) easily attracts eachother. They can attract magnets at a distance invisibly, through what we call a magnetic field. It can act a distance. It causes a pulling and pusing force on other magnets. When you move the magnet close to a object for example a nail, it will jump and pull itself to stick with the magnet.
What do you call the end of a magnet?
Well its classified as poles
What do you call it when lines intersect?
intersecting lines
What do you call two different ends of a magnet?
North and South :)
