A freely suspended bar magnet demonstrates the principle that magnets align themselves with Earth’s magnetic field, helping identify the cardinal directions—north and south. Class 6 NCERT Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets Class VI Book Curiosity ScienceSession 2024-2025.
The Sun’s rising (east) or setting (west) direction provides an approximate east-west reference. Comparing this with the magnet’s alignment confirms it points along the north-south direction. Class VI Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets NCERT Science Textbook Curiosity Science Session 2024-2025.
Iron filings align along the magnet’s poles because the magnetic field is strongest at the poles. This strong magnetic force attracts the filings, causing them to cluster at these points on the magnet. Class VI Book Curiosity Science Chapter 4 ...
To mark the resting position, place the magnet horizontally, allow it to come to rest, and mark the positions of both ends on the ground or paper. Join these marks to form a straight line. NCERT Textbook Curiosity Science Class ...
When a bar magnet is suspended horizontally and rotated gently, it comes to rest in a particular direction. This direction is consistent, regardless of how many times the magnet is rotated. NCERT Textbook Curiosity Science Class 6 Chapter 4 Exploring ...
A bar magnet always aligns along the same line because it responds to the Earth’s magnetic field. Its poles orient themselves along the Earth’s north-south magnetic axis. Class 6 NCERT Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets NCERT Textbook Curiosity Science Session 2024-2025.
Iron filings stick most at the ends of the magnet, known as the poles, which are the North and South poles. The filings stick less uniformly on the rest of the magnet. Class 6 NCERT Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets Session ...
When iron filings are sprinkled on paper with a bar magnet, they align along the magnetic field lines, sticking more densely at the ends (poles) of the magnet, showing the strength of the magnetic field. Class VI Chapter 4 Exploring ...
Modern magnets are made from various materials, including iron, alloys, and rare earth elements. These materials provide stronger and more durable magnetic properties for diverse applications in industries and everyday devices. Class 6 NCERT Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets Session 2024-2025.
