Hi science anons!
Here is a simple question for you all:
Pick one:
By compass definition and color coding practice:
Compass North pole is a South pole, seeking North Pole
1: North seeking pole is colored RED because South pole is RED
2: North seeking pole is colored RED because North pole is RED, and is seeking North pole.
Wikipedia N-RED S-BLUE
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet
amfmagnets N-BLUE S-RED
https://amfmagnets.co.nz/ferrite-block-magnet-75mm-x-18mm-x-6-5mm-painted-red-south-blue-north.html
So the compass's North pole is painted RED, is it red because it is a South Pole, or because it is pointing to the North Pole and Red was intended to be North?
Everybody has his/her own definition of the standard magnet pole coloring scheme, so there is none?
