The Earth's magnetic north pole is a point at the top of the northern hemisphere where the magnetic pull is straight down, toward the Earth's core. It is not the same as the Earth's geographic north pole. The geographic north pole is fixed at geodetic latitude 90° North. However, the magnetic north pole drifts, based on magnetic changes to the Earth's core. Some scientists think it is drifting toward Siberia 34-37 miles (55-60 km) per year, and can vary from day-to-day up to 50 miles (80 km) per day, because of the Earth's elliptical movement.
Here are some measurements of the location of the Earth's magnetic pole:
In 1831 = 70°5.3'N 96°46.0'W
In 1904 = 70°31'N 96°34'W
In 1930 = 72.3°N 98.7°W
In 1994 = 78.3°N 104.0°W?
In 2001 = 81.3°N 110.8°W?
In 2005 = 82.7°N 114.4°W?
In 2007 = 83.95°N 120.72°W
In 2010 = 85.0°N 132.6°W
In 2011 = 85.1°N 134.0°W
The pole wanders daily in a roughly elliptical path around this average position, and may frequently be as much as 80 kilometers away from this position when the Earth's magnetic field is disturbed.
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
Earth's magnetic field is strongest near the poles, specifically in the region known as the Magnetic North Pole in the Arctic. It is slightly weaker at the Magnetic South Pole in the Antarctic. The strength of the magnetic field diminishes as you move towards the equator.
The magnetic north pole is currently located in northern Canada, close to Ellesmere Island. There are no known nmpis near the Earth's north 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.
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
When the north pole becomes the south pole.

the North Pole and the South Pole
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 freely suspended magnet will align itself vertically, with its north pole pointing directly downward towards the Earth's magnetic pole. This is because the magnetic field lines are vertical at the magnetic poles.
It is done with a device that harnesses the earths magnetic field and separates the individual north pole and individual south pole magnets. You can read about it at GOD BASED MAGNETISM.

No, they move slowly. The North Magnetic Pole, for example, is currently drifting a little west of north at about 40 km/year.
The television or something in it must be generating a magnetic field.
