On a compass, the needle points toward the North Magnetic Pole (not precisely the same as the geographic North Pole). The "north pole" of a magnet is defined according to the Earth's magnetic field (or by application of the "right hand rule" of electromagnetic field generation).
What else can I help you with?
Will the north end of a suspended magnet point to the magnetic north pole?
true, if the the magnet is not labeled the north end will always point towards the north pole.
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
If a bar magnet is suspended vertically, it will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north and the south pole towards the geographic south.
Why does a freely suspended magnet point in the north-south direction?
A freely suspended magnet always points in north - south direction. This is because its south pole is attracted by earth 's north pole and the north pole of the magnet is attracted by the earth 's south pole. when we hang it freely it automatically starts pointing in north-south direction. The magnetic compass also works on the same principle.
Why does freely suspended magnet always point in the same direction?
A freely suspended magnet will always point in the same direction because it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This causes one end of the magnet to point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole and the other end to point towards the South pole.
Where would a freely suspended magnet rest in?
A freely suspended magnet would align itself along the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. This alignment happens because the north pole of the magnet points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
What would a freely suspended magnet do?
A freely suspended magnet will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north pole, and the south pole will point towards the geographic south pole.
Will the north end of a suspended magnet point to the magnetic north pole?
true, if the the magnet is not labeled the north end will always point towards the north pole.
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
If a bar magnet is suspended vertically, it will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north and the south pole towards the geographic south.
Why does a freely suspended magnet point in the north-south direction?
A freely suspended magnet always points in north - south direction. This is because its south pole is attracted by earth 's north pole and the north pole of the magnet is attracted by the earth 's south pole. when we hang it freely it automatically starts pointing in north-south direction. The magnetic compass also works on the same principle.
When a magnet is suspended in freely still air then which direction the north pole will rest?
It depends mostly on where you are located. Where I am, in northern Idaho, the north pole of the magnet will point about 21 1/2 degrees east of the north pole.
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
Why does a frerely suspended magnetalways point in north south direction?
A freely suspended magnet aligns itself in the north-south direction because of Earth's magnetic field. The magnet's north pole is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to point north. This behavior is due to the magnet's ability to align with the direction of the magnetic field lines present in the Earth's magnetic field.
How can a north poles of a magnet help when you are lost?
The north pole of a magnet can help when you are lost because it can act as a compass. When suspended freely or allowed to rotate, the north pole of a magnet will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which points towards the North Pole. By observing the direction in which the north pole of a magnet points, you can determine which way is north and navigate your way.
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
Get attracted and stick on together
In which direction do magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet?
Magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet.
Where would a magnet not point North?
at the North Pole
Why does freely suspended magnet always point in the same direction?
A freely suspended magnet will always point in the same direction because it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This causes one end of the magnet to point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole and the other end to point towards the South pole.
