What are the principles of magnetism?
When a magnet is freely suspended it will come to rest aligned with the north and south magnetic poles of the Earth. The north seeking point of the magnet is called the south pole and the south seeking point of the magnet is called the north pole. If the two magnetic poles are placed near each other a force will exist between them, this force will be either of attraction or repulsion. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. A moving magnetic field will induce a current in a wire. Conversely, a moving wire in a magnetic field will have a current induced in it. Also, a wire carrying current will create a magnetic field. Electricity and magnetism are so closely related to each other that it is actually called electromagnetism.
Why a freely suspended magnet always rest in north and south direction?
A magnet aligns itself along the earth's magnetic field, with its north pole pointing to a location called 'Magnetic North', so called to distinguish it from 'True North'. The magnetic polarity of the location we call 'Magnetic North' is south.
Where did magnetite get its name?
If a bar magnet were suspended, and allowed to come to rest, it would point in an approximately North-South direction. The end of the magnet that points towards the North was originally called the 'north-seeking pole', and the end that points towards the South was originally called the 'south-seeking pole'. Over time, we have dropped the use of the word, 'seeking', and now simply refer to them as the magnet's 'north' and 'south' poles which describe their magnetic polarities. Magnets don't actually point in the direction of True North and True South (located at the earth's axis of rotation) but, rather, at Magnetic North and Magnetic South, which are locations that 'wobble' around True North and True South. Because of this, navigators have to allow for the difference between Magnetic North and True North in order to accurately plot a route. Magnetic North does not refer to magnetic polarity, but is used to differentiate its location from that of True North. Because 'unlike poles attract', the polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south magnetic pole -which is why the location attracts the north pole of a magnet or compass needle.
What happens if you suspend a bar magnet so it can go freely?
if the magnet has a low enough mass, and the string induces very little forces and friction on the magnet, it will act like a compass, the south end will point to the north pole and vice versus with north
How might you separate ferrous metal containers from non-ferrous containers at a recycling plant.?
This is one of the easiest separations. The ferrous containers will be attracted to a magnet and the rest won't.
What would a freely suspended magnet do?
A freely-suspended magnet will come to rest in a North- South direction -The pole which points to the north is the North Pole -The pole which points at south is the South Pole
What happens when a magnet is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction
When a magnet is freely suspended what suspended what position you will find the magnet in when it comes to rest?
When the magnet is free to rotate and its poles are in a horizontal plane, it comes to rest with its poles pointing roughly north and south.
Why a freely suspended magnet comes to rest in north south direction?
It reacts to the magnetic field of the Earth.
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 happen when a magnetic needle is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction
How do farmers get a magnet out of a cow?
They don't. The magnet stays in the cow for the rest of her life.
Will there be a induced current if the magnet remains at rest?
No

Is there any stone suspended in the air in macca?
A Stone Suspended in Air by Holly Prophet Mahammad (S.A.W). It was suspended in air during Mehraj once prophet took rest with it and it moved with him. Prophet told it to stop there and then and is still suspended in air.
Why does a magnet rest at its north-south position?
because north and south are opposite
If you suspend a bar magnet from its center the magnet will do what?
Oscillate, wiggle and wobble, turn lazily to and fro, and eventually come to rest pointing roughly north and south.
