Question

In which direction does a freely suspended magnet settle?

Answer 1

when the magnet is freely suspended its north pole gets attracted by the magnetic south polarity of the earth and it points to the north direction

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnet always settle in the North-South direction of earth.

Explanation:

Since we know that magnet consist of two poles south and north.

We know that the same poles repel each other and opposite pole attract each other.

Magnet consist of two poles south pole and north pole.

we know that earth itself behave like a magnet.

so, when magnet is suspended freely then its north pole gets attracted towards the south of the earth.

Hence magnet always settle in the North-South direction of earth.
