Question

explain why a freely suspended magnet always points in two in the northsouth direction​

Answer 1

Answer:

The freely suspended always point towards north/south direction because the earth acts like a big magnet.The north pole of the magnet get attracted to the south pole of the earth's magnetic field and the south pole of the magnet get attracted to the north of the earth's magnetic field.

Answer 2

Answer:

because a monopole doesn't exist

hence they occur in dipole

so they get two direction such that they produce magnetic field in contrast of the earth magnetism and follow toward the earth magnetism that is the earth magnetic dipole that is 11.3 degree tilted by its original pole . for. more information refer the earth magnetism tipic.

I am sure that u are able to understand the concept. pls comment if u
