@color.smith8: The north and south poles are the two ends of a magnet where its magnetic force is strongest. They are defined by the direction of the magnetic field and their interaction with other magnets and the Earth. Core Properties Opposites Attract: The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another. Likes Repel: Two north poles (or two south poles) will push away from each other. Dipoles Only: Every magnet must have both a north and a south pole. Even if you break a magnet in half, each piece will instantly form its own new north and south poles. Field Lines: By scientific convention, magnetic field lines flow outward from the north pole and inward toward the south pole. Northeastern University Northeastern University +7 The Earth Connection The naming of these poles is based on how they interact with our planet: North-Seeking: The "north" pole of a magnet is technically its "north-seeking" pole because it points toward the Earth's geographic North Pole. The Switch: Since opposite poles attract, the Earth's geographic North Pole actually contains its magnetic south pole. Alignment: When a magnet is suspended freely (like in a compass), it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing roughly north-south#NASAX PROJECT
