Question 11
What are different type of magnets? And where are the poles located?
Answers
Answer:
Magnetism is a subject that includes the properties of magnets, the effect of the magnetic force on moving charges and currents, and the creation of magnetic fields by currents.
There are two types of magnetic poles, called the north magnetic pole and south magnetic pole.
North magnetic poles are those that are attracted toward the Earth’s geographic north pole.
Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
Magnetic poles always occur in pairs of north and south—it is not possible to isolate north and south poles.
CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS
1. Volcanic and other such activity at the mid-Atlantic ridge extrudes material to fill the gap between separating tectonic plates associated with continental drift. The magnetization of rocks is found to reverse in a coordinated manner with distance from the ridge. What does this imply about the Earth’s magnetic field and how could the knowledge of the spreading rate be used to give its historical record?
Glossary
north magnetic pole:
the end or the side of a magnet that is attracted toward Earth’s geographic north pole
south magnetic pole:
the end or the side of a magnet that is attracted toward Earth’s geographic south pole
Answer:
There are three types of magnet
- temporary
- permanent
- electromagnet
the north magnetic pole is located to the south in northern Canada and the south magnetic pole is located at the centre of antarctic continent.
