Question

Yogesh takes a magnetic compass in the lab and tries to show how it works to his friends. But, it does not work well in the laboratory. It just swings to and forth. He then takes it out in the field and it started working. What do you think could be the possible reasons for this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Hope this helps you
