This can't be seen with the unaided eye. But if you hang the magnet on a string, the end that points north is the magnet's north pole - it alligns itself that way, due to the Earth's magnetic field.

What does the direction of the magnetic field depend on?
it depends on the north of a magnet and the south of a magnet
What happens when a compass is near a magnet?
Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.
What is the direction of the magnetic field of a bar magnet?
The field lines would leave one pole (end of the magnet) and then curve around one side to come back to the other pole in kind of a semi-oval. Picture two ovals side by side, then picture the bar magnet placed between them, overlaying the long edges of the ovals where the ovals touch. This can be observed by pouring some iron filings onto a piece of paper and then placing a bar magnet underneath the paper. The filings will line up along the field lines providing a visual picture.
Which direction will a magnet point to and why?
A magnet always has two faces or 'poles'. One is called north, because it will be attracted to the north pole of the earth if allowed to freely rotate. The other is called south because it will be attracted to the south pole of the earth. The earth itself acts like a magnet. The north pole of the earth actually has a south magnetic polarity and therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet. A compass needle is a magnet in which the arrow that points north has a north magnetic polarity.
How do magnets repeal?
This is because magnets have north and south poles, which attract and repel each other. Opposite sides of the magnet attract each other like a south pole of the magnet touching the north pole of another magnet, while the same sides of a magnet like a north pole of one magnet touching a north pole from another magnet.
What does the direction of the magnetic field depend on?
it depends on the north of a magnet and the south of a magnet
How can you tell where the field is strongest on a bar magnet?
I think it is the north and the south parts of the magnet.
Every magnet has two?
Every magnet has two poles, called the north and south poles. Magnetic field lines begin at the north pole, and end at the south pole.
Where is the magnetic field on a magnet the stongest?
The magnetic field of a magnet is strongest right at the poles, both the north pole and the south pole (which are equally strong).
What are the two sides of magnet called?
north pole and south pole
What is Magnet?
is a meterial or object that produces a megnetic field
Is magnetic field vector?
yes, b/c it is directed from north to south pole of a magnet.
What would happen when a magnet meet to the south and south and north and north?
the magnet will repel
What does the s and the n mean in a magnet?
NORTH AND SOUTH
Why a freely suspended magnet comes to rest in north south direction?
It reacts to the magnetic field of the Earth.
Why poles of the magnet can't be separaed?
Magnets are related to electrical currents; the electrical current produces a symmetrical magnetic field, i.e., it has a north and a south part.In the case of a permanent magnet, each atom has a tiny magnet, with its own north pole and south pole.
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.
