What else can I help you with?
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

How do magnetic fields flow from north to south?
Magnetic fields flow from north to south in a continuous loop, with the lines of force moving outward from the north pole and curving back towards the south pole. This creates a closed loop pattern that allows the magnetic field to circulate and interact with other magnetic fields.
Rocks that have magnetic fields that point south show?
that they were formed when Earth's magnetic field was reversed, with the magnetic north pole being near the geographic south pole. This phenomenon is known as paleomagnetism and is used to study the history of Earth's magnetic field and plate tectonics.
Why does a compass needle point in the north and south direction?
A compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, which has a north and south pole. The north-seeking end of the magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole, causing the needle to point north.
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.

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.

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.
What makes north north and south south?
The Earth's magnetic field creates the north and south poles based on the direction of the magnetic field lines. The north pole is defined as the point where magnetic field lines converge and point vertically downwards, while the south pole is where they diverge and point vertically upwards. This creates the orientation we use to determine north and south.
How do magnetic fields interact with each other to either attract or repel objects?
Magnetic fields interact with each other based on their polarity. Like poles (north-north or south-south) repel each other, while opposite poles (north-south or south-north) attract each other. This attraction or repulsion is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the objects.
Does a compass use a magnetic force?
A compass does not "consume" energy as such. It just align according to the magnetic field of the Earth. One end will point North and the opposite End will point South. Note that the Geographic North and South are different from the magnetic North and South. A compass as in the simple ones with a metal pin giving direction, will always point to the Magnetic North.
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.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
