Hi all,
See if you have the correct answer for this:
The magnetic polarity of the earth's North Pole, is it North or South.
You can test it with a correctly marked (N,S) bar magnet suspended on
a cotton string. If the South Pole of the bar magnetic faces North,
then the Earth's North Pole has a Magnetic North polarity. If the
North Pole of the bar magnet faces North the the North Pole has a
magnetic South polarity.

In response to a similar question to my teacher in geography I was
taught at school that every bar magnet has a 'north seeking' pole i/e.
magnetically a 'south' pole.
