Question

A magnetic compass when placed in a magnetic field, aligns itself in the direction of magnetic field.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The freely suspended magnet always stays in the north-south direction.
2. So, if the magnetic compass is placed in a magnetic field it will align itself in the direction of the magnetic field.

Hence, "A magnetic compass when placed in a magnetic field aligns itself in the direction of magnetic field” is true.
