The Earth is similar to a bar magnet because a magnet holds other magnets or metal objects to it. The same concept goes for the Earth. Gravity from Earth holds all objects down unless another force acts upon it.

What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
the bar magnet will become stable whereever it is suspended on the north pole as north pole=earth's magnetic south pole
What shape of a permanent magnet corresponds to the magnetic field formed by a solenoid?
The magnetic field produced by electric current in a solenoid coil is similar to that of a bar magnet.
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.
What type of magnetism is present in a bar magnet?
The known magnetism in a bar magnet is electromagnetism.
What happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?
Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.
How did the magnetohydrodynamics affect the world?
It probably explained how the Earth had magnetic poles similar to that of a bar magnet.
How are the earth and a bar magnet similar?
They are both magnets, one small, one huge, and both with north and south poles.
How are a bar magnet and earth similar?
They are both magnets, one small, one huge, and both with north and south poles.
The magnetic field of an electromagnet is similar to that of a magnet?
bar
What is the magnetic field of an electromagnet similar to?
a bar magnet...
What are the similarities and differences between a solenoid and a bar magnet?
DIFFERENCE: a bar magnet is a permanent magnet where as solenoid is a electromagnet so it acts as a magnet only when electricity is passed through it. SIMILARITIES: they both act as magnets and both have a similar magnetic field.
What kind of magnet has a field that is about the same shape of Earth's magnetic field?
Uranus NOVEL STARS ANSWER: None of these
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.
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
the bar magnet will become stable whereever it is suspended on the north pole as north pole=earth's magnetic south pole
How do you know that is not a huge permanent magnet earths core?
1.because earth acts like a bar magnet and we had imagined that there is a magnet in earths core
How is earths magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet?
electric current in a solenoid coil
If earth's magentic field is like a bar magnet where is the north pole of bar the magnet?
If we were to align a bar magnet with the Earth's magnetic field the north pole on the bar magnet would be the red-colored portion. When it comes to Earth, as of now the North pole is in the arctic. However, this is the magnetic north pole which is slightly off true north and always wandering due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. True north is exactly what the name implies, it the very top and perfectly centered point on the Northern hemisphere.
