Q1) Which magnetic pole is the closest to the geograpic north pole?
Q2) Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the middle of the earth (in mexico) or at the bottom of the earth (in antarctica)? Explain your answer....
Hi,
1. A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth's geographic poles. For example: earth's magnetic north poles is earth's geographic south poles and vice versa. So, magnetic pole is the closest to the geograpic north pole is south pole.
2. The magnetic field of earth is equivalent to the magnetic field of bar magnet. The magnetic field of earth is strongest at either pole of the earth. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the earth. So, magnetic field of earth stronger at the bottom of the earth (in antarctica).
