Question

A freely suspended magnet aligns itself in the north-south direction in a room and air is sucked from that room through the vacuum pump. So, now there is no air in the room but still, the magnet aligns itself in the north-south direction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Magnetic properties of the magnet do not depend on the material medium like air so freely suspended magnet still points in the north-south direction even after the air is sucked from the room.
