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.

∙ 15y agoMagnets line up with the Earth's north and south poles because opposite magnetic poles are attracted to each other. The magnet's north pole is attracted to the Earth's south pole, and the magnet's south pole is attracted to the Earth's north pole. It is traditional to put an arrow pointing to the magnet's south pole, which will point north.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agobecause the north pole has a magnetic pull due to the earths rotation and the iron in the core

Does a freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction?
Yes. A freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction.
Why does freely suspended magnet always point in the same direction?
because im always in that direction. ohhh yeahhh
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 a freely suspended magnet not show geographical N'S direction exact?

Where would a freely suspended magnet rest in?
it will rest in the middle of north and south.
Does a freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction?
Yes. A freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction.
Why does freely suspended magnet always point in the same direction?
because im always in that direction. ohhh yeahhh
If suspended freely in which direction will horseshoe magnet will align?
yes it does
What happens when a magnet is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction
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.
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

When you suspend a magnet freely why does it always lie in north and south direction?
A magnet always points towards north and south if suspended freely because it gets attracted to the north and south poles of the earth. The east and west have weaker magnetism power.
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 or freely aligned in which direction will it alight?
Along an axis between the North and South Magnetic Poles.
Will coir rope give north South direction if suspended freely?
No, to get north or south you need to suspend a magnet.
What are natural magnet?
Natural Magnet The lodestone is a species of iron ore which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores. When freely suspended it always points to the poles.
