GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -From the south magnetic pole to the north magnetic pole, this force has an effect on all magnetized objects, such as the needle of a compass. Under the effect of Earth’s magnetic field, the needle always points toward the north magnetic pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which way will the needle of a compass placed at A point? Answer: to the right since a compass lines up with the magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -The needle of the compass shows north in the direction in which the of earth’s magnetic field lies.

Detailed explanation-4: -A magnetic compass does not point to the geographic north pole. A magnetic compass points to the earth’s magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth’s geographic poles. Furthermore, the magnetic pole near earth’s geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract.
