The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.

What are the polarity of earth's north and south poles?

The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.


Is the magnetic pole another name for the south pole?

No, the magnetic pole is not the same as the south pole. The Earth has geographic poles (North and South) and magnetic poles (North and South). The magnetic pole that aligns with the geographic North pole is actually the Earth's magnetic South pole.

Why are there 5 north poles and 4 south?

There is only one true geographic North Pole and one South Pole. In magnetic terms, Earth has one magnetic North Pole and one magnetic South Pole. The confusion may arise from different uses of the terms in different contexts, such as in physics, geography, and navigation.

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.
