Why is a North Pole of a compass attracted to the North Pole of the Earth?

The north pole of the earth is only the geographical north pole. The actual magnetic north pole of the Earth's magnetic field is situated near the south pole. Similarly, the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field is situated near the geographical north pole. So, when a magnet is freely suspended, the north pole of the magnet is attracted to the magnetic south pole of the Earth and thus, indirectly, points to the geographical north of the Earth.Alternative AnswerLet's sort out our terminology, here. "Magnetic North" is a location or more accurately, a direction, and the term is used to differentiate it from the earth's "True North". The term "Magnetic North" has nothing to do with its magnetic polarity, which is a south pole.


Is the North Pole of a magnet plus or?

The North Pole of a magnet is traditionally considered the "north" end because it is attracted to the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is actually a magnetic south pole. In magnetism, opposite poles attract, so the North Pole of a magnet is a magnetic north pole, while the Earth's North Pole behaves like a magnetic south pole. Therefore, the North Pole of a magnet is not "plus" but is simply referred to as the North Pole.
