Does the south pole have a magnetic pull?

Because opposite poles attract, Earth’s south magnetic pole is physically actually a magnetic north pole (see also North magnetic pole § Polarity). The south magnetic pole is constantly shifting due to changes in Earth’s magnetic field.

What will two magnets do if you place the north pole of one near the south pole of the other?

When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.

What is the relationship between the geographic north pole and magnetic north pole?

The Geographic North Pole is where lines of longitudes converge into what we call the North Pole. The Magnetic Pole is a point in Northern Canada where the northern lines of attraction enter the Earth. A compass needle will point to the direction of the Magnetic North Pole.

Where is the magnetic North Pole?

The Magnetic North Pole (also known as the North Dip Pole) is a point on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada where the northern lines of attraction enter the Earth. A compass needle rests freely in its casing so it can maneuver itself. When you pull out a compass, it aligns itself with the Earth’s magnetic field.

What is geographic north and magnetic north?

Geographic north (also called “true north”) is the direction towards the fixed point we call the North Pole. Magnetic north is the direction towards the north magnetic pole, which is a wandering point where the Earth’s magnetic field goes vertically down into the planet.

What happens when the north pole of one bar magnet is near the north pole of another bar magnet?

Opposite poles of a magnet attract each other, whereas like poles repel each other. However, when lined up with another north-seeking pole, the two magnets would push away from each other because their forces are not compatible.

What happen when north pole of a magnet is brought near the north pole of a suspended magnet?

Like poles repel each other. Therefore,when north pole of a magnet is brought near North pole of suspended magnet, the magnets with repel each other and the suspended magnet will move away from the other magnet.

What is the difference between the north and the south poles?

The difference is that north pole lies in the northern hemisphere, while south pole lies in the southern hemisphere. The North pole is defined as latitude 90 degrees N and the direction of true north. The South pole has latitude 90 degrees S and direction of the true south.

What and where are the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole and how are they different from the north and south geographic poles?

The geographic north and south poles are where lines of longitude (meridians) converge in the north. The south and north pole are directly opposite to one another. The North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.
