If you suspend the magnet in a way that it can rotate freely (for example, hang it from a thread), one of its ends will point north. If you know which end that is (you may want to mark it), west is 90 degrees to the left of north.

Is a bar magnet magnetic?
A bar magnet is a magnet of rectangular shape with a north and and south end, which are sometimes coloured different colours to indicate which end is which.
Is there a scale for magnet strength?
They are bar magnet ,horse shoe magnet ,lime stone magnet.
Why do magnets always align in N-S direction?
Magnets always align in N-S direction because the earth itself behaves lika a huge bar magnet. The north pole of the bar magnet attracts the geographical south pole and the south pole attracts the geographical north pole. That is why magnets always align in N-S direction.
Why magnetism at the centre of a bar magnet is zero?
F = mB - mB =0 a bar magnet is placed in a uniform magnetic field B, its poles +m and -m experience force mB and mB along and opposite to the direction of magnetic field B.
What is Difference of bar and horceshoe magnet?
A horseshoe magnet is curved.
You are given a bar magnet how will you find out the west direction?
The sun sets in the West and rises in the East. Unless the bar magnet has its N pole marked, it is of little use, you can get it to point N/S by freely suspending it but you will not be able to tell east from west. The direction the sun is moving is more relevant.
How will you know the west in the bar magnet?

Why does a bar magnet placed in S-N direction turn towards N-S direction when torque acting on it is zero?
If the bar magnet turned then there was a torque acting upon it. Torque is defined as a turning force or moment.
What would be the direction of the induced current if the s-pole of a bar magnet were quickly withdrawn from it?
That depends on the direction in which the coil of wire is wound.

Is bar magnet a natural magnet?
no
How to find positive on a magnet?
Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
Why do magnets always align in N-S direction?
Magnets always align in N-S direction because the earth itself behaves lika a huge bar magnet. The north pole of the bar magnet attracts the geographical south pole and the south pole attracts the geographical north pole. That is why magnets always align in N-S direction.
What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
Earth's magnetic field can make a magnet out of an iron bar by causing the magnetic domains to?
It lines up in the same direction :)
Earths magnetic field can make a magnet out of an iron bar by causing the magnetic domains to?
align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field within the iron bar. This alignment occurs due to the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic properties of the iron, resulting in the iron bar becoming magnetized.
