What else can I help you with?
If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or south?
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
What way does the south pole of a compass point toward?
Except near the Earth's magnetic poles, the south pole of a compass points toward the south.
How do you identify the polarities in round magnet?
You can identify the polarities of a round magnet using a compass. The end of the magnet that points north on the compass is the north pole of the magnet, while the end that points south on the compass is the south pole of the magnet.
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward what?
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward the Earth's magnetic South Pole. This is because magnetic poles are opposites, and the North Pole of a magnet is attracted to the magnetic field generated by the Earth's core, which is located near the geographic North Pole. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's magnetic field, which is not aligned perfectly with the planet's rotational axis.
How to find positive on a magnet?
Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
What are the four main points on compass called?
North south east and west
Why does the needle of a compass point south when it's put on a bar magnet?
When a compass needle is placed near a bar magnet, it aligns itself with the magnetic field created by the magnet. The compass needle is a small magnet itself, with its north pole attracted to the south pole of the bar magnet and repelled by its north pole. If the compass needle points south, it indicates that the bar magnet's south pole is near the compass's north pole, demonstrating the fundamental property of magnetic attraction and repulsion. Thus, the orientation of the compass needle reflects the magnetic field direction of the bar magnet.
How can you tell which is the North Pole on a magnet if it is not marked?
A magnet's north pole will attract the south pole of a compass needle (i.e. the end of the needle that points to Magnetic South).
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
What way does a magnet always face?
A magnet always aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which means that its north pole points toward the Earth's geographic North Pole, while the south pole points toward the geographic South Pole. This alignment occurs because the Earth behaves like a giant magnet with a magnetic field extending around it. In a free-floating position, such as in a compass, the north pole of the magnet will consistently seek the Earth's magnetic north.
