So, obviously something is up with this North/South business. Well, what is it? To recap: the needle end of the compass pointed toward the South end of the magnet.
- What does this mean?
- What ramifications does it have for the Earth's magnetic field?
Other questions for research:
Where is "magnetic north" on Earth?
Magnetic south?
Yet more things to think about:
Must there always be at least one north pole with every south pole (and vice versa)? Can magnetic monopoles exist? This is not something you'd necessarily know, so feel free to research.
How are magnetic fields different from electric fields?
