Question

The end of a freely suspended magnet that points to the magnetic north of earth is ___________.

Answer 1

1. A freely suspended bar magnet always points in the north-south direction.
2. A north pole of a magnet points towards the geographic north pole of the earth.
3. This geographic north pole of the earth is the magnetic south pole of the earth and attracts the north pole of the freely suspended magnet.
   Hence, the south pole is the end of a freely suspended magnet that points to the magnetic north of the earth.
