    • The magnetic pole in the Northern Hemisphere is currently located near Canada.
    • Scientists track the movement of the magnetic poles over time.
    • A compass needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic poles.
  2. Magnet poleB1formal

    One of the two ends of a magnet where the magnetic field is strongest, designated as north or south.

    frpôle magnétique

    • Opposite magnetic poles attract each other.
    • The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole.
    • If you break a magnet in half, each piece will have its own north and south magnetic poles.
