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.


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 is a suspended magnetized magnet?

A suspended magnet is usually a magnet suspended by a thin thread and allowed to rotate and swing freely. This will align itself to the Earth's magnetic field providing there is no other magnetic or electromagnetic influnence.


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.


What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?

How Freely Suspended magnet is used in compass for navigation?

A freely suspended magnet responds to the magnetic field of the planet Earth. The Earth's magnetic north pole is close to its geographic north pole, so a compass points (approximately) north.

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 or freely aligned in which direction will it alight?

Along an axis between the North and South Magnetic Poles.
