Question

Why does a freely suspended magnet alway
ely suspended magnet always settle in the North-South direction?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

because when the magnet is suspended freely the poles of the magnet are freely attracted by the magnetic poles of the earth (note: the magnetic force exerted by the earth is not strong enought to pull the bar magnet) as there is no force acting against the magnet. hence when the magnet is suspended freely it always points towards the north pole and the South pole.

hope this helps you and please mark it as the brainliest.

cheers :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is due to the influence of the earth magnet. The direction of the earth magnet is in the North-south direction of the earth. The North pole of the earth magnet is near the geographical south pole and south pole is near the geographical north pole. Therefore North of suspended magnet align above the south pole of the earth magnet and vice versa.
