Direction of Magnetisation
A letter “A” is often used to denote the dimension that the direction of magnetisation (DoM) runs parallel with. The A usually means Alignment, although (shared/common)
Axis is also used. e.g. D5mm x 30mmA is an axially magnetised rod magnet. If an arrow is present on the drawing, the arrow shows the direction of magnetisation and it
points to the North pole face. The North poleface of a permanent magnet is a North seeking pole (it seeks the geographic North). By scientific definition of unlike poles
attracting, the Earth’s geographic North pole is actually a magnetic South pole. We use this definition for DoM.
