Question

The magnetic north pole is not the same as the geographic north because:

• A. Earth’s imaginary bar magnet is not aligned to geographic north south
• B. Earth does not produce magnetic field lines
• C. Earth’s imaginary bar magnet inside is perfectly aligned to geographic north south
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Earth’s imaginary bar magnet is not aligned to geographic north south

As we discussed in the video, the magnetic poles are different from geographic poles because of different (slightly off) alignment of earth’s imaginary bar magnet to geographic north south.
