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.

Why is a small bar magnet able to deflect a compass from Earth's large magnetic field?

The small bar magnet has a stronger magnetic field, at least at short distances.


How are the uses of an electromagnet different from those of a permanent bar magnet?

A bar magnet is made from magnet materials and has a magnetic field at all times. An electromagnetic is not naturally magnet and only has a magnetic field when electricity is passed through it.


What causes the magnetic compass to react with a magnet?

The compass needle is a small bar magnet balanced on a pin. It swivels freely on this balance point. This is how it can align with the magnetic field of the Earth to show what direction magnetic north is. When you introduce another magnetic field, like from a magnet in close proximity, the needle will align with these local fields since their field strength is stronger than Earth's magnetic field - locally.
