Question

freely suspended magnet aligns itself to the geographical
of the earth.
North pole
South pole
North-East
South-East​

Answer 1

Answer:

North South

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

When a magnetic needle is suspended such that it is free to rotate in a horizontal plane, it always rests indicating the geographic north-south direction. It is clear that the north pole of a magnet will point towards the geographic north only when there is a magnetic south pole attracting it.
