First of all, it's important to understand that 'Magnetic South' is a location, whereas 'south magnetic pole' refers to magnetic polarity.
'Magnetic South' is located near 'True South' -i.e. the geographic South Pole. It is not a fixed location, but 'wobbles' around True South over time.
The Earth's 'magnetic south pole', on the other hand, is located deep in the earth below the location of Magnetic North. This is because the Earth behaves like a giant bar magnet with its south magnetic pole located below True North and its north magnetic pole located below True South. The Earth's magnetic field, therefore, emerges perpendicularly from True South, and re-enters perpendicularly at Magnetic North. A compass aligns itself with this field.
What else can I help you with?
Does the magnetic field go from north to south or south to north?
The magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet and from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet.
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.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
What will be the position of the freely suspended magnet in a region over the earths magnetic pole?
The freely suspended magnet will align itself vertically, with its north pole pointing directly downward towards the Earth's magnetic pole. This is because the magnetic field lines are vertical at the magnetic poles.
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
What do scientist not know about earths magnetic field?
When the north pole becomes the south pole.
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
Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
How does the magnetic field flow from the north pole to the south pole?
The magnetic field flows from the north pole to the south pole in a loop, creating a continuous path of magnetic force.
What is the direction of magnetic flux in a magnetic field?
The direction of magnetic flux in a magnetic field is from the north pole to the south pole.
Does the magnetic field go from north to south or south to north?
The magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet and from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet.
In which direction do magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet?
Magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet.
Where is earth's magnetic field strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest near the poles, specifically in the region known as the Magnetic North Pole in the Arctic. It is slightly weaker at the Magnetic South Pole in the Antarctic. The strength of the magnetic field diminishes as you move towards the equator.
What pole do magnetic field originate?
Magnetic fields originate from the north and south poles of a magnet or a magnetic material. These poles generate magnetic flux lines that flow from the north pole to the south pole, creating a magnetic field around the magnet.
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.
How is the objects lifted in magnetic levitation?
It is done with a device that harnesses the earths magnetic field and separates the individual north pole and individual south pole magnets. You can read about it at GOD BASED MAGNETISM.
