Answer to Problem 1RQ

The north magnetic pole of the earth is a south polarity.

Explanation of Solution

Description:

The earth itself contains magnetic poles. As unlike poles attract each other, the north magnetic pole of a compass needle is attracted to the south magnetic pole of the earth and vice versa.

Hence the north magnetic pole is a geographic south pole.

Conclusion:

The north magnetic pole is a geographic south pole.
