Can you break a compass with a magnet?
In a compass box we have a small magnetic needle to which an aluminum pointer is attached at right angle. Since it has a magnetic piece, it has to respond to other magnets. In some boxes we have the pointer small in size is itself a magnet pivoted freely.
What would a freely suspended magnet do?
A freely-suspended magnet will come to rest in a North- South direction -The pole which points to the north is the North Pole -The pole which points at south is the South Pole
What is the type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely?
Magnetic field
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
Get attracted and stick on together
How Freely Suspended magnet is used in compass for navigation?
A freely suspended magnet responds to the magnetic field of the planet Earth. The Earth's magnetic north pole is close to its geographic north pole, so a compass points (approximately) north.
What is a small magnet that can turn freely and always point north?
A compass.A compass.A compass.A compass.
Does a freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction?

What happens when a magnet is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction

Why is there a small hole at the bottom center of a speaker magnet?
This hole is most likely to allow air to escape from the back of the speaker, allowing the speaker cone to vibrate more freely.
Where would a freely suspended magnet rest in?
it will rest in the middle of north and south.
Why does a magnet left to float freely on a cork end up pointing north or south?
If a magnet is "left to float freely", it will align to any magnetic field - or more precisely, to the horizontal component of the magnetic field. And if there is no stronger magnet nearby, this field will be governed by Earth's magnetic field.
How do you draw a small bar magnet?
because it is easy to convey from small bar magnet
