Question

Bar magnets always point towards North-South direction. (True or False)

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Magnetic lines:

1. The magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet run from the north to the south pole on the outside and from the south pole to the north pole on the interior.
2. Outside a permanent magnet, magnetic field lines always flow from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole.
3. As a result, the earth's magnetic field lines run from the southern geographic hemisphere to the northern geographic hemisphere.
4. A permanent magnet's properties are comparable to those of a bar magnet.
5. At both ends, it has a north pole and a south pole.
6. If a thread is used to suspend this magnet in the air, it will not come to rest until the poles are oriented north-south.
7. This characteristic is used by a mariner's compass to calculate direction.
8. It has the strongest magnetic force at the pole.

Therefore, bar magnets always point in a North-South direction is true.
