What are magnetic poles?

What are magnetic poles.

Assertion: The magnetic poles of earth do not coincide with the geographic poles. Reason: The discrepancy between orientation of a compass and true north-south direction is known as magnetic declination.

A magnetic pole of bar magnet with pole strength of 100 A-m is 20 cm away from the centre of a bar magnet. Bar magnet has pole strength of 200 A-m and has a length 5 cm. If the magnetic pole is on the axis of the bar magnet, find the force on the magnetic pole.
