Question

State the position of neutral points when a bar magnet is placed on a table with its north pole facing geographic south.

Answer 1

1. Magnetic field is the area around a magnet where magnetic strength is felt.
2. Magnetic force is more towards the pole than in the centre of the magnet.
3. These magnetic field is represented by imaginary lines, known as magnetic field lines.
4. A neutral point in a magnetic field is a point where the resultant magnetic field is zero.
5. When a magnet is placed with its north pole pointing towards the geographic south, then the neutral point will be in the north-south direction.
