The end that is marked with ’N’ will point to the Arctic. The ‘S’ end will point toward the Antarctic. A bar magnet is ‘just’ a big heavy compass needle. The ‘N’ and ‘S’ marking are made to help travelers find their way around the globe.

Yes, it IS confusing to have the ’N’ end of a compass point toward the north axis of the earth. These conventions were well in place LONG before anyone understood that ‘Opposites Attract’. But now that we DO know that ‘Opposites Attract’ we are left with the unfortunate reality of compasses, bar magnets and the earth. There are gazillions of magnets and only one earth! So the ‘convention’ has been made that the magnets are labeled correctly! This means (unfortunately) that the Arctic area of the globe is actually the south end of the earthly magnet. The earth is a giant (but very weak) electromagnetic and the lines of the magnetic field point to the Arctic Regions which is why all out magnets point that way. The magnetic field line dive INTO the earth in the Arctic Regions and OUT of the earth in the Antarctic regions.

I haven’t used the word ‘pole’ here, because magnetic poles don’t actually exist (as far as we know). Every magnet is actually an electromagnetic with electrical charges in motion creating the magnetic field.

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

E=6.8Kv/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/w plate d=10cm=>0.1m

P_1 Potential at 7.35 V=533v

Generally the equation for electric field at a distance is mathematically given as

E=\frac{v}{d}

E=\frac{533}{7.85*10^-^2}

E=6789.808917

E=6.8*10^3

E=6.8Kv/m

Explain at least three ways trees assist in keeping high water quality?
swat32
<span>Tree's are vital to the eco-system, they clean the air of co2 which is important for the air and water. Tree's also stop erosion and that is an important step in keeping our water clean. Tree's filter water up through the soil with their extensive root system, making for clean water.</span>
