Directive Property –
As we know that the freely suspended magnet always points in a north-south direction.
As we know that All magnets have two poles: the North Pole and the South Pole.
As we know that the Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
So, The magnetic force of a magnet is stronger at its poles than in the middle.
