Question

Which of the following statements about magnetism is FALSE? If you cut a bar magnet in half between the north and south poles, you will end up with two bar magnets, each with a north and a south pole. The geographic north pole of the Earth is also the magnetic north pole of Earth's magnetic field. Magnets always have two poles: a north and a south pole. They never appear as just a north pole or just a south pole. Magnetism is a long-range force. Which of the following statements about the magnetic field is FALSE? The end of a compass needle that points north is a magnetic south pole because it is pointing toward the north pole of the earth's magnetic field. A magnetic field is created at all points in space surrounding a current-carrying wire. Magnetic fields exert forces on magnetic poles: the force on a north pole is in the direction of B while the force on a south pole is opposite B. The magnetic field is a vector, specified by a magnitude B and a direction.

Explanation / Answer

The end of compass needle that points north is magnetic south pole because it is pointing the north pole of earths magnetic field
