it will do nothing
its north and south pole would turn north and south
You can hang the magnet up on a string, so that it can rotate freely. In that case, it should align with the Earth's magnetic field.
One way is to suspend each bar from a string tied around the middle of the bar. The magnetized bar should rotate to orient itself with the Earth north and south magnetic poles. The other bar will just hang there.
The following two methods are really the same idea:1). Test against a known magnet. Observe whether there is an attraction or repulsion between them.2). Hang the bar by a string from its mid-point. Observe whether it shows a tendency to align itself in a preferred direction.Another method:3). Observe whether the bar picks up paper clips. ---- If you have two bars and are told that one of them is a magnet but the other is not, and you are not allowed to use any other metal, string, etc. to determine which is which, see which one is attracted to the middle of the other bar. That one's the magnet.
The poles on a spherical magnet are at the positive side and the negative side. Just like that of our earth which has both a north and south pole. The magnetic field is described as loops going from the north pole too the south pole, just as a normal bar magnet would behave. However a spherical electromagnet can be made such that the poles are constantly changing and never in one spot for too long. The answer to your question is impossible without more information or experimentation with the magnet. An easy way to test which is north and south is to hang the magnet on a string and then positively or negatively charge a nylon rod by rubbing a material on it(google which will make it negative or positivel) and hold it near all the sides. One side will be repulsed then that would be the sign of whatever the rod is charged with. I hope that this long winded answer helps.As a note north is positive and south is negative
its north and south pole would turn north and south

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.This can't be seen with the unaided eye.

I guess the easiest way to make it turn quite freely is to can hang it from a string.
For this hammer a nail very close to the object into the object and hang the string on that nail. Then let the string with weight stop swinging (best to do it in an enclosed room with no wind). When the string stops swinging, if the straight-edged object is parallel with the string, then the object is completely vertical
The magnetic field can easily be noted if you hang a magnet from a piece of string, or use a compass; the compass needle is also magnetic. The idea is for the compass or hanging magnet to be able to freely rotate. Since the north pole of the compass needles points north, you can conclude that the south pole of planet Earth is towards the north. Remember that opposite poles attract each other.
ANY weighted string will hang vertical because of gravity. (Technically, I guess you'd have to specify that the center of gravity of the weight is on the extension of the line that's defined by the string.)
You pick up the zinc and get a magnet and hang it over the bottom dross!!! You pick up the zinc and get a magnet and hang it over the bottom dross!!!

you can hang as many paper clips as you want until the weight of the paper clips becomes more than the pulling force of the magnet
