Which of the following statement is correct?
Bar magnets always point towards North-South direction.
- Rubber and Lead are not attracted by a magnet and hence, they are not magnetic materials.
- Bar magnets always point towards North-South direction when suspended freely in earth's magnetic field. The end pointing towards north direction is called north pole and the other end is called south pole.
- When a bar magnet is brought near iron fillings, the amount of iron fillings that stick to the magnet depends on the strength of the magnet. The magnetism of a bar magnet is maximum at the poles and minimum in the middle. Thus, maximum iron fillings will stick at the two ends of the magnet and minimum in the middle.
