A small iron bar does not rest along the north-south direction but aligns randomly. This shows that only magnets have the property of aligning with Earth’s magnetic field. Class VI Book Curiosity Science Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets NCERT Science Textbook ...
A freely suspended magnet aligns along the north-south direction because the Earth behaves like a giant magnet, exerting magnetic forces that orient the magnet’s poles accordingly. Class VI Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets NCERT Science Textbook Curiosity Science Session 2024-2025.
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.
