Question

If a bar magnet is made to hang from the ceiling using a thread. Then along which direction will the north pole of bar magnet align itself?

• A. Towards geographical south of earth.
• B. Towards geographical north of earth.
• C. Towards west of earth.
• D. Towards east of earth.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Towards geographical north of earth.

Earth’s magnetic south is near earth’s geographical north.So, the north pole of bar magnet is attracted towards the south pole of earth's magnet(which is towards the geographical north of earth).Thus the north pole will get aligned towards geographical north of the Earth.
