What is the type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely?

The type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely is magnetic force. The magnet aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a net force acting on the magnet.

Why does a magnet left to float freely on a cork end up pointing north or south?

If a magnet is "left to float freely", it will align to any magnetic field - or more precisely, to the horizontal component of the magnetic field. And if there is no stronger magnet nearby, this field will be governed by Earth's magnetic field.

Does the magnet move as a freely falling object when it is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor As the magnet falls toward the ring?

No, the magnet will not fall as a freely falling object when dropped toward a conducting ring. The magnet will experience resistance due to electromagnetic induction as it moves towards the conducting ring, which will slow down its descent. This is known as magnetic braking.


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.
