The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the Southern Hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.
Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.
What else can I help you with?
The end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
What is polarity of a magnet?
The polarity of a magnet refers to its orientation with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. A magnet has two poles, a north-seeking pole and a south-seeking pole. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is actually a magnetic south pole.
How do we know its the south pole of the magnet?
The south pole of a magnet is typically determined by observing its attraction or repulsion to the north pole of another magnet. The Earth's magnetic field can also help identify the south pole of a magnet, as the north-seeking pole of a compass needle will point towards the Earth's magnetic south pole.
Where in a bar magnetic is the magnetic flux the strongest?
The magnetic flux of a magnet is strongest in its poles. There poles of a magnet are those points where the magnetic lines of force emanate and enter. The poles are termed as north and south. The north pole is also called the N-pole or the north-seeking pole. Consequently, the south pole may also be referred to as the S-pole or the south-seeking pole.
Is the north -seeking pole of a magnet stronger than the south-seeking pole?
No, they are of exactly equal strength. If it were possible to construct a magnet where one pole was stronger than the other, it would be a violation of one of Maxwell's laws (specifically, div B = 0).
The end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
What nsp is the end of a magnet that points north?
North Seeking Pole
What do we call the ends of magnets?
Poles...one is north-seeking (north pole) and one is south-seeking (south pole).
What is polarity of a magnet?
The polarity of a magnet refers to its orientation with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. A magnet has two poles, a north-seeking pole and a south-seeking pole. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is actually a magnetic south pole.
What do magnets have?
A North Seeking Pole (north pole) South Seeking Pole (south pole) if a magnet is suspended in mid air, it will always have it's north pole facing up they also have a magnetic field.
How do we know its the south pole of the magnet?
The south pole of a magnet is typically determined by observing its attraction or repulsion to the north pole of another magnet. The Earth's magnetic field can also help identify the south pole of a magnet, as the north-seeking pole of a compass needle will point towards the Earth's magnetic south pole.
What is the charge of a magnet's north pole?
We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.
Where in a bar magnetic is the magnetic flux the strongest?

If earth is a giant magnet why does the magnetic south pole correspond with the geographical north pole?
Good question ! The answer is that when scientists first began to investigate magnets, the pole of a magnet that tries to point North was called a "north-seeking pole". The word seeking was quietly dropped when people got tired of saying it. So, the magnetic pole in northern Canada is a south-seeking pole, or as we would say today, the South pole of a magnet. The earth's north-seeking pole is in Antarctica.An Alternative Answer'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS, so-named to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South'. These terms have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarity of those locations.The ends of a magnet (or of a compass needle) are so-called because, when freely suspended, come to rest pointing in the directions of Magnetic North and Magnetic South. Originally, these were called the 'North-seeking' and 'South-seeking' poles of the magnet. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and now simply call them their 'north' and 'south' poles. These are the magnetic POLARITIES of the magnet's ends. Since the 'north' pole of a magnet is attracted towards Magnetic North, the polarity of that location is south. So the earth behaves as though there is a giant magnet, buried within the earth, with its south pole locatedat Magnetic North and its north pole located at Magnetic South.
What is the name of a magnet's pole that points north?
A magnet's poles are designated "north" and "south" just like the Earth -- which is, in fact, a planetary magnet. The northern magnetic pole on Earth (the one in the arctic) is magnetically a south pole, since poles on magnets are labelled by the direction that they tend to point in Earth's magnetic field (it's more correct and clearer to call them "north-seeking" and "south-seeking" poles).
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
