In the USA medical magnet authors/researchers/therapists call the N.
pole of a magnet the pole that a north seeking compass needle points
to just as it will point to true magnetic north. If you suspend a
magnet in the air with a string the S. pole of the magnet will point
north, opposites attract, likes repel. The N. pole has a negative
polarity and the S. pole has a positive polarity. In the USA
industry, engineering, and science often refer to magnets as having
the opposite poles and polarities of those listed above. Paul
