Question

Magnets align themselves according to the magnetic field around them.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Magnets align themselves according to the magnetic field around them. When freely suspended, north pole of a magnet point towards the magnetic south pole (geographical north pole) of Earth and it happens due to the magnetic field of Earth. When a strong magnet is brought close to it, it realigns according to the resultant magnetic field.
