What else can I help you with?
If the worlds magnetic poles reverse would the sun rise in the west?
No. The rotation of the Earth cannot change without a shock big enough to destroy all life on the planet. But the direction of "magnetic north" would point more toward the SOUTH pole than the north pole.A magnetic compass doesn't point at the north pole; it points to the north MAGNETIC pole, which is currently (it slowly wanders around) in northern Canada. When the Earth's magnetic field reverses, we're not sure exactly where the north magnetic pole will be, but it'll probably be somewhere in the Indian Ocean south of Tasmania. We do know that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse; it has hundreds of times before. But we don't expect it any time soon.
What is the best description of a magnetic field line?
magnetic field line is an imaginary line showing magnetic energy between a north and south pole .
What compass is Canada in?
The north. We have and own the north magnetic pole. All compass users have to pay us a royalty....ok maybe not.
Does polaris lie at the north celestial pole?
That's one way to say it. Another way is that the earth's axis points at Polaris. That way, you don't have to deal with the subject of "up" and "down", which doesn't really have any meaning once you leave the earth's surface.
How can you tell that the Earth has a magnetic field?
Hang a magnetized object from a thread attached to its midpoint, so that it balances with its poles at the same level, like a propeller.Notice that regardless of what position you point it, it has a direction in which it wants to point, and when you let it go, it always rotates itself to that direction.An identical object that's NOT magnetized won't behave that way.
What does magnets have?
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
Do bar magnets have a north and South pole?
Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
The needle of a compass points to what pole?
north pole Magnetic North PCH answer = Magnetic North
What has north and south pole's?
The Earth has geographic North and South Poles, which are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface. Additionally, there are magnetic North and South Poles, which are not fixed and can move over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Why does south pole of the compass always point to the north while north pole always points to the south?
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
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.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The south pole of a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
What two poles do magnets have?
Magnets have two poles, these poles are called the North pole and the South pole. The North pole is the side of the magnet that points to the Earth's North pole when freely suspended.
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.
Which end of magnet points to the north?
the south end because N is attracted to S.A2.To avoid confusion as to whether it is the compass or the earth that has the N pole, when referring to hand-held devices, it is better to speak of "the north seeking end", or the "south seeking end".
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.
