Yep, we've been there', done that. > >The magnet may be labeled the north pole, or the > >north seeking pole, either of which may be labeled north, >but are opposite. Not sure what you mean here, but if you mean the north pole of a magnet is the opposite of the north seeking pole, I agree. >To make matters worse some literature considers the true >north pole of the earth as a south magnetic pole,< >so in that case both north seeking and north pole of the >magnetic would point north. I guess my magnets and I? are physically handicapped. I have a front side and a back side and I don't know how to get both sides facing the same direction. My magnets have a north pole (south pole seeking side) and a south pole (north pole seeking side) and they don't know how to get their north pole side and their north pole seeking side to face the same direction at the same time. ? ? > >Even worse, no one was able to say conclusively if the north >pole that is > >suppose to be > good for you is really the north >pole, or the north seeking pole. Not true. On page 22 of their book, "Magnetism and it's effects on the living System"? Davis and Rawls have a drawing that shows the "Earth" magnet as a bar magnet on the central axis of the Earth and the bar magnet's north pole is very clearly next to the Geographic north pole. On page 6, they say: "It is of the upmost importance that you understand how we arrived at identifying the poles of a magnet, as many present-day magnet manufacturers do not code or identify the poles correctly. The two poles of any magnet are the N pole and the S pole. As does the Earth, a magnet also has its two poles.The simple means of Identification of the two poles is to take a long straight bar or cylinder magnet and tie a string or thread at its center. Then tie the thread to a support that will allow the magnet freedom to swing freely, keeping it away from all metal objects. The magnet will turn and slow,then stop turning. The end of the magnet that is pointing to the N pole of the Earth is "the S pole of the magnet." ? This is the information I used to make my magnet pads. The magnets seem to have the effect Davis and Rawls say they should have. That's pretty much all I need to know relative to poles of a magnet. ?
