Answer 2

Explanation:

• A freely suspended magnet rests in the geographic north-south direction.
• Earth has two geographic poles, the North Pole and the South Pole.
• They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through.
• Our planet also has two magnetic poles, the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole just like a bar magnet.
• The magnetic poles are near, but not quite in the same places as, the geographic poles.
• The needle in a compass points towards a magnetic pole.
• Earth's North Magnetic Pole is actually the south pole of the Earth's geographic poles and vice-versa.
• Hence, a freely suspended magnetic needle point in geographic north-south direction.
• The magnetic compass is the device that uses this principle.
• A magnetic compass contains a magnetic needle pivoted in a horizontal plane that indicates the direction of magnetic north at points on the earth's surface.
• It is an instrument that uses a magnetized steel bar to indicate direction relative to the earth's magnetic poles.
