Question

Q7. Using a bar magnet. how will you find the west direction of your house?
Q8. What will happen if a magnet is brought near a magnetic compass?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To find west direction with a bar magnet we will tied the magnet and leave it freely as a freely suspended magnet alligns itself in north-south directions. As it is free and it is tied using a copper wire stirrup. slowly it will itself move towards North and we can locate the west.

The needle of a compass is itself a magnet, and thus the north pole of the magnet always points north, except when it is near a strong magnet. ... When you take the compass away from the bar magnet, it again points north. So, we can conclude that the north end of a compass is attracted to the south end of a magnet.
