Question

The north pole of earth's magnet is near

• A. Geographic north
• B. At the center of earth
• C. Geographic south
• D. In any direction

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Geographic south

Keep this well in mind that the magnetic poles are opposite in position as the geographic poles.

Magnetic north is at geographic south and vice versa.

Geographic north is the part which includes Greenland and south is Antartica.

When we hang a bar magnet then its poles are attracted to the opposite magnetic poles of the earth. We know that opposite poles attract each other.

That's the reason why the bar's north pole turns towards the geographic north of the earth and the south to south.
