GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The South Pole of the Earth’s magnet is in the geographical North because it attracts the North Pole of the suspended magnet and vice versa. Thus, there is a magnetic S-pole near the geographical North, and a magnetic N-pole near the geographical South.

Detailed explanation-2: -Outside a bar magnet the magnetic field lines run from north to south pole and as they form a closed loop so inside they run from south to north pole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unless they came marked with “N” or “S, ” the poles of a magnet look the same. One easy way to tell which pole is north and which is south is to set your magnet near a compass. The needle on the compass that normally points toward the north pole of the Earth will move toward the magnet’s south pole.

Detailed explanation-4: -A bar magnet suspended in Earth’s magnetic field orients itself in a north–south direction. The north-seeking pole of such a magnet, or any similar pole, is called a north magnetic pole. The south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Poles: There are two poles, positive and negative, which are located at the ends of the magnet. The north pole has a positive charge and the south pole has a negative charge, unlike electric charges, the poles can be separated.
