The line along which a magnet rests indicates the north-south direction. You can find this direction by using a compass or observing a freely suspended magnet, which aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field.
What direction does this line indicate along which the magnet rests? How can we find out?

The line along which a freely suspended magnet rests indicates the north-south direction. To find this direction, you can use a compass or suspend a magnet freely, allowing it to align with the Earth’s magnetic field. The north end of the magnet will point towards the Earth’s geographic north, while the south end points towards the geographic south. This alignment is due to the magnetic forces exerted by Earth’s magnetic field.
