Alan,
Let me say first I like your webpage
design, it is colourful and easy to read.
As for the compass information
- are you sure you are right? If you use a guass meter on a compass it
shows the north pole of the compass to be a north pole. What we call the
earth's magnetic north is in fact the south pole of a magnet.
I'd appreciate your comments.
regards Bill Smith.
Dear Bill,
Thank you for the imput. I have
to admit, I never did put a meter on a compass needle, but you did, it
means of course the northern hemisphere is a south field and the southern
hemisphere is a northern field. I added an addendum to the page How
a compass really works. Alan...
