Question

When a magnet is freely suspended at a place in the northern hemisphere , it's which pole will dip downward ?

Answer 1

It goes or it dipped down to the North Pole.. because..

A freely suspended magnet will also point towards south. The south pole of a magnet bar points towards north because the magnetic field around the earth happens to have its north pole towards north. South and north attract eachother. The magnetic north pole that is. That is why a compass work as it does. The small needle in it, is a magnet. It will point towards the north and south as the magnetic fields align with each other to rest at their equilibruim - the point where no magnetic forces will further change the direction of the compass needle...

Hope this helps you out!!
