The north magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic north pole, is a point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downward (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate in three dimensions, it will point straight down).
The Magnetic North are a British band, formed between multi-instrumentalist Simon Tong, Orcadian artist and producer Gawain Erland Cooper and singer, composer and orchestral arranger Hannah Peel. Their songs are part autobiography and part psychogeography.
What Is Magnetic North? Magnetic north is defined as the direction which is pointed by the compass needle in response to the earth’s magnetic field. The deviation between the true north and the magnetic north varies from place to place as the earth’s magnetic poles are not fixed with respect to its axis.
- Magnetic declination is defined as the angle between magnetic north and true north on the horizontal plane. As per the position on the earth’s surf...
- The declination will be positive when the magnetic north is east of the true north.
- Magnetic declination is represented using the symbol δ.
- It is the direction pointed by the compass needle in response to the earth’s magnetic field.
- The angle made with the horizontal by the earth’s magnetic field lines is known as dip angle or magnetic dip.
Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points to as it aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field. What is interesting is that the magnetic North Pole shifts and changes over time in response to changes in the Earth’s magnetic core.
