Earth's magnetosphere works mostly like a bar magnet: View video. Same principal, magnets with opposite polarity attract each other; and magnets with similar polarity repel...
Note: The magnet in the tube of iron filings has the same magnetic polarity as the Earth. When a bar magnet is placed against the tube, the filings trace out a line: Video: view Filings
