Cultural definitions for magnetic pole

magnetic pole

The spot on the Earth toward which a compass needle will point.

notes for magnetic pole

The north magnetic pole is not located exactly at the geographic North Pole. Therefore, depending on where a compass is, its needle may not point exactly north.

notes for magnetic pole

The variation between magnetic north and “true” north is usually shown on navigation maps as the “angle of declination.”

Scientific definitions for magnetic pole

magnetic pole

Either of two regions of a magnet, designated north and south, where the magnetic field is strongest. Electromagnetic interactions cause the north poles of magnets to be attracted to the south poles of other magnets, and conversely. The north pole of a magnet is the pole out of which magnetic lines of force point, while the south pole is the pole into which they point. The Earth's geomagnetic north and south poles are, in fact, magnetically the opposite of what their names suggest; this is why the north end of a compass needle is attracted to the geomagnetic north pole. See Note at magnetism. See also magnetic.

Either of two regions of the Earth's surface at which magnetic lines of force are perpendicular to the Earth's surface. The Earth's magnetic poles are close to, but not identical with, both its geographic poles (the North and South Poles) and its geomagnetic poles. See Note at magnetic reversal.
