Question

When a magnet is suspended freely, it points in the ______ direction.

  1. North and South
  2. East and West
  3. North and West
  4. South – East

hintHint:

When a magnet is suspended freely, it points in the north-south direction.

The correct answer is: North and South


    • Because the earth's magnetic south pole is in the geographic north direction and its magnetic north pole is in the geographic south, a freely suspended magnet always rests in the north-south direction.
    • A magnet aligns itself in an N-S orientation because dissimilar poles repel and as poles attract.
