The question that Fausto will be answering in this episode is the following: “How can I define a magnet's north pole?” At the link https://www.supermagnete.de/eng/faq/n... you can find additional information on the polarity and on how to determine the location of the north pole.

In the video Fausto shows you the different possibilities for finding the north and south pole. They can easily be tried out at home or during physics lessons at schools.
