Question

In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth magnetic South Pole is near to the earth geographical north pole and the earth magnetic North Pole is near the geographical South Pole so we can say that magnetic poles of earth do not coincide with its geographical poles but there are some other near they are some where near the geographical poles

Explanation:

they they are come in position they are in north to south direction

magnetic compass that has a small light magnet called the magnetic needle. this magnetic needle is pivoted at its centre and is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. when this magnetic compass is kept away from any other magnet north pole of the magnetic needle points ,

towards the geographical north of the earth .it is used by sellers and pilots to know the direction in which they are should sell their ships or flying aeroplanes

Answer 2

In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?

${\huge{\bold{ANSWER:-}}}$

The compass will get aligned in vertical direction (up-down) if is held vertically at the North Pole. This is due to the fact that magnetic field is perpendicular at the Poles and the magnetic needle of the compass aligns to it.
