There is no such thing as a "gravitational pole." Earth's magnetic poles periodically switch. Currently we have no way of predicting when this might happen.

Why weight of body is more at the poles need scientific reason?

The weight of an object is determined by the gravitational force acting on it, which is slightly stronger at the poles due to the Earth's oblate shape. The equatorial bulge caused by the Earth's rotation pushes mass towards the poles, resulting in a slightly greater gravitational pull and therefore a slightly higher weight at the poles.


Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?

The weight of an object changes when it is moved from the equator to the poles due to the variation in gravitational force caused by the Earth's rotation. The force of gravity is slightly stronger at the poles compared to the equator, leading to a small change in weight.


How the poles of an electromagnet can be reversed?

The poles of an electromagnet can be reversed by changing the direction of the current flowing through the coil of wire. By switching the positive and negative terminals of the power source, the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet will also reverse, causing the poles to switch.


Why is the gravitational field strength stronger at the poles?

Gravity is a downward attractive force exerted from the centre of the earth. In other words, the closer you get to the centre of the earth, the stronger the gravitational field strength. The earth is not a perfect sphere. Both the north and south poles are closer to the centre of the earth. In other words, imagine the earth as a a slightly compressed football where the equator is farther from the centre of the earth while both the poles are closer. And because they are closer to the centre of the earth, gravitational field strength is stronger at the poles. But even if Earth were a perfect sphere you would still weigh slightly less at the equator than at the poles due to a small upward centrifugal force that results from Earth's rotation.


What is a bipole?

A bipole is a type of electrical switch that has two poles, allowing it to control two separate circuits simultaneously. It is commonly used in applications where two circuits need to be connected or disconnected at the same time.

How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?

The gravitational acceleration will decrease slightly as you move from the equator to the poles due to the Earth's shape (oblate spheroid). This is because the centrifugal force is greater at the equator compared to the poles, which causes a slight decrease in the net gravitational force experienced at the equator.

How do you switch poles in electromagnetic field?

You get a battery, switch, nail and copper wire. You connect one end of the battery to the switch and the other end to the nail that is wrapped with some copper wire. The end of the switch that isn't connected you connect to the electromagnet.

Where is Earths gravitational field strongest?

Earth's gravitational field is strongest at the surface, near the poles. This is because gravity is directly related to the mass of an object and is strongest closer to the center of the Earth.
