A: Imagine a large pole being shoved into the earth and come out the other end. This is called the earth's axis. It's an imaginary rod that the earth spins around once a day. at the top of the earth is the north pole while the bottom of the earth is the south pole.
The North Police is also called the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole.
What else can I help you with?
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
The strongest parts of the magnet are called the?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.
What do you call the ends of mangets?
The ends of a magnet are called the poles. There are two types of poles: the north pole, which attracts the south pole of another magnet, and the south pole, which attracts the north pole of another magnet.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
The ends of a magnet are called what?
a pole
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
What are north and south ends of a magnet called?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
The strongest parts of the magnet are called the?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
What nsp is the end of a magnet that points north?
North Seeking Pole
Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.
Why are the poles of a magnet called N and S?
When a magnet is freely suspended at its center it will set itself along the north-south direction. The tip pointing towards the geographical north direction is called the north pole and the other tip is called the 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.
What is The part of a magnet that points north is called?
The pole of the magnet that points to earth's magnetic north is the south pole of the magnetIt should be understood that the north pointing end of a compass is a North magnetic pole. That being so, the north pole of the earth got its name because of this fact. Actually, the north pole of the earth has a South magnetic polarity which attracts the north pole of the compass. The south pole of a magnet points to the south pole of the earth because the south pole has a north magnetic polarity. Confused? Just remember that true (magnetic) north resides in the magnet; not in the earth. dbm 7/16/09Clearer AnswerThe above answer is incorrect. The poles of a magnet were named after the directions in which they point. The earth's poles were NOT named after a magnet's poles!When a horizontally-suspended comes to rest, it points in an approximately North-South direction. For this reason, the end of the magnet pointing North was called the 'North-Seeking' pole, and the other end was called its 'South-Seeking' pole. We no longer use the terms 'seeking', and we now call the ends of a magnet its 'north pole' and 'south pole' and these terms are also used to define their magnetic polarities.To differentiate it from True North and True South, we say that the magnet actually points to Magnetic North and Magnetic South -these are the names given to directions (or location) NOT their magnetic polarities. So, because 'unlike poles attract', the magnetic polarity at the location we call 'Magnetic North' is a south pole which therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet.
What is the north and south ends of a magnet called?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called poles. The north pole is attracted to the south pole, and vice versa, creating a magnetic field.
What do you call the ends of mangets?
The ends of a magnet are called the poles. There are two types of poles: the north pole, which attracts the south pole of another magnet, and the south pole, which attracts the north pole of another magnet.
