What is the South Pole's magnetic charge?

The South Pole of the Earth's magnetic field is considered to be the magnetic south pole, where the magnetic field lines point into the Earth. This is opposite to the geographic south pole, which is the point that lies at the southernmost tip of the Earth's axis of rotation.


Why is light in the electromagnetic spectrum Is light a type of electromagnetic radiation But how does that work Light is not magnetic or is it?

Part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by eye, and we call that bit "light". The thing about electromagnetic radiation is that a varying magnetic field causes a (varying) electric field (that's how power stations make electric current) and a varying electric field causes a (varying) magnetic field. So electromagnetic radiation is what you get when a varying electric field creates a varying magnetic field which in turn contributes the varying electric field. The whole thing then appears as bundled varying electric and magnetic field wave system which propagates at the velocity of light, That is why it is called electromagnetic. There are no magnetic poles or electric charges in it, and it can travel through a vacuum.


Is magnetic north at the top of the earth?

No, magnetic north is not at the top of the Earth. Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points towards, which can be different from true north (the North Pole). The magnetic north pole is actually located in northern Canada and shifts over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.


When there is a sudden collapse of a magnetic field in or around a solenoid. what happens?

Electric current will be induced in such a way that the flux of the magnetic field will be constant and thereby the induced current will create magnetic field in the same direction. This is what we call Lenz's law(law of conservation of energy).


What occurs when an electric current is made by a changing magnetic field?

We might call it induction, magnetic induction, or electromagnetic induction, depending on what kind of setup we were inspecting. It is the phenomenon of induction that allows a moving magnetic field to cause (induce) current flow in a conductor. A link can be found below for more information.

What do you call lots of little things that show up the magnetic field?

Iron filings are often used to visualize magnetic fields due to their magnetic properties. When scattered around a magnet, the iron filings align along the magnetic field lines, making the field visible.


What do you call the force around a magnet?

the area of magnetic force around a magnet is called the magnetic field


What are the Earth's magnetic field call?

polls


What do we call the force that surrounds magnetic objects?

The force that surrounds magnetic objects is called a magnetic field. This field is responsible for the attractive and repulsive forces experienced between magnets and magnetic materials.


What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


What do we call the lines of force surrounding a magnet?

Magnetic field lines. These lines represent the direction in which a small north magnetic pole would tend to move if placed at any given point in the field.


What do you call a device to measure relationship to earth's magnetic field?

A compass


What do you call the magnetic force around a magnet?

I'm pretty sure its the 'magnetic field'


What is the process called in which a conductor cuts across a magnetic field and produces a voltage?

We call it induction when we pass a conductor through a magnetic field to produce voltage.


What do you call magnets that come together?

it can be called oppisites because the north magnetic field and south magnetic field attract, or can be called attractions, because they attract


What do we call a place where there is no magnetic field?

I don't believe there is a special name for that, so you can just use a term similar to what you wrote in the question, for example, "a region with no magnetic field".


Is magnetic at the top of the earth?

No. Remember that like poles repel. What we call the Earth's north is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field.
