How can you tell which side is which on a magnet?
suspend the magnet from a string at its center of gravity. The north pole of the magnet will point to the north pole. (The north magnetic pole of the earth is actually a south seeking pole.)Another AnswerUse a compass. It's north seeking pole will be attracted towards the magnet's south pole and its south-seeking pole will be attracted towards the magnet's north pole.
How can you tell where the field is strongest on a bar magnet?
I think it is the north and the south parts of the magnet.
How do compases use magnets?
A compass would not work without a magnet. Inside the compass is a magnet which moves to line up with the Earth's natural magnetism. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the south pole of the Earth. As such, the magnet moves to always be lining up in this way. When you use a magnet, you can see this in action as the needle moves around to always point northward and from knowing this, you can tell which way you are facing.How_does_a_compass_use_magnetismHow_does_a_compass_use_magnetismHow_does_a_compass_use_magnetismRead more: How_does_a_compass_use_magnetism
Is the North Pole near Antarctica or europe?
The North Pole is near the Arctic region, which is located in the northern part of the Earth near the North Pole. Antarctica is at the opposite end of the Earth, in the southern hemisphere. Europe is a continent located between Asia and the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the name of the equipment that uses a magnet to tell you which direction you are traveling in?
Its called a compass and it always points in the direction of north so you can easily determine your relative direction to the north.
How do you know which is the North face of the magnet?
To find the north pole of a magnet you can use a pole identifier. When the identifier is held to the magnet, you press a button and it will tell you if it is the north or south pole.

You are given a bar magnet how will you find out the west direction?
The sun sets in the West and rises in the East. Unless the bar magnet has its N pole marked, it is of little use, you can get it to point N/S by freely suspending it but you will not be able to tell east from west. The direction the sun is moving is more relevant.
What does a compass needle tell you about the earth's internal magnet?
The earth's geographic north pole is a magnetis south pole
If you have an unmarked bar magnet how can you find out which end is the north pole?
Stand somewhere where you know which way is north (get a map, find yourself on it, face a landmark which is about north (or south) which is marked on the map) The north seeking pole will be the one facing the same way as you.Alternately you can find a magnet marked with N and S and use that.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This is sadly half an answer. If you stand with a magnetic compass on the ground (assuming no other interference) then yes, you should be able to determine magnetic north.However maps are (in the most part) aligned to True North....which is not always the same as magnetic north. In the UK it's different by up to 10 degrees off. Go to South Africa/Madagascar and you're talking 20-30 degrees off.All this has to do with the fact that the magnetic and north poles are not in the same location - in fact they are just under 600 miles apart and change as the years go by.If you stand on the ground with a map aligned to true north however AND know the variation (that is the difference in degrees between true and magnetic north) then yes, you should be able to point to both with a bit of maths!Better AnswerUse a compass. It's needle will point to the magnet's south pole.

How can you tell which side of a magnet to place on your body for magnetic healing therapy?
Magnets do not actually have any effect on the human body. There is less iron in the entirety of your body than there is in a couple of iron screws, and the iron that IS in your body is not of the magnetic variety. If Magnetic Healing were real, then any time someone went in for an MRI scan all of the blood in your body would be ripped through your skin and splatter onto the machine.
Is the North Pole in danger?
yes it is now tell me of how south pole was form
What is next north?
now i will tell you it's the a dessert a snowy dessert called the north pole
What are the rules that tell whether two magnets will attract or repel?
It is when you have the pole north facing up and the pole south facing down they repel. When the pole north and south are facing up or down they attract.
