Animals using magnetite in their bodies, brains, etc., are able to detect polar north and south. Try Goggling animals vs. magnetite. Very interesting reading.
It is found that not only birds and sea turtles are using this method, but so are whales, the planets largest globetrotters.
What else can I help you with?
Is Antarctic north pole or south pole?
The South Pole is an imaginary spot on the continent of Antarctica. You are getting confused by the over use of the terms North and South Poles as regions, when we should be using Arctic for the North, and Antarctic for the South.
How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
Is the South Pole the same as antarctica?
In relation to the question asked, (south pole = antarctic) the answer is the arctic. The north pole is located in the Arctic region, specifically the Arctic Ocean. When people use the term "The North Pole", they may mean Magnetic North or they may mean the Geographic North Pole/Terrestial North Pole. The latter two terms are the point in the northern hemisphere where the earth's axis meets the earth's surface. There is no land mass at the North Pole. It is currently covered by ice caps, which shift. Therefore there is no permanent marker of the North Pole.
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 one determine the poles of the magnetised iron bar?
To determine the poles of a magnetized iron bar, you can use a compass. One end of the bar that attracts the north-seeking end of the compass needle is the north pole of the bar. The opposite end that attracts the south-seeking end of the compass needle is the south pole of the bar.
How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
Is the north pole a natural magnet?
Yes, if you use a compass you you will see it points towards the north pole. Although the north pole is called the North pole, scientifically it is actually the south pole. This is because the Earth\'s magnetic field makes a compass point to the scientific south pole, geographically known as the North Pole
How do you find north pole in bar magnets?
Use a compass. It will point to a magnet's south pole.
Is Antarctic north pole or south pole?
The South Pole is an imaginary spot on the continent of Antarctica. You are getting confused by the over use of the terms North and South Poles as regions, when we should be using Arctic for the North, and Antarctic for the South.
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.
How can one determine the polarity of a magnet?
To determine the polarity of a magnet, you can use a compass. The end of the magnet that attracts the north pole of the compass is the magnet's north pole, and the end that attracts the south pole of the compass is the magnet's south pole.
How to find positive on a magnet?
Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
What magnet use in the compass?
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
Where is most of the water that is available for human use?
it is available at north and south pole
Is the South Pole the same as antarctica?
In relation to the question asked, (south pole = antarctic) the answer is the arctic. The north pole is located in the Arctic region, specifically the Arctic Ocean. When people use the term "The North Pole", they may mean Magnetic North or they may mean the Geographic North Pole/Terrestial North Pole. The latter two terms are the point in the northern hemisphere where the earth's axis meets the earth's surface. There is no land mass at the North Pole.
