I guess the easiest way to make it turn quite freely is to can hang it from a string.

How does a bar magnet interact with a compass?

A bar magnet interacts with a compass by aligning the compass needle along the magnetic field lines of the magnet. This causes the compass needle to point towards the North Pole of the magnet, allowing the compass to indicate the direction of the magnetic field.


How does a compass interact with a bar magnet to determine direction?

A compass interacts with a bar magnet by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The needle in the compass is a small bar magnet that points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. This alignment allows the compass to determine direction based on the north-south orientation of the magnet.


You are given a small plotting compass and three grey metal bars one is aluminum one is iron one is magnet how can i identify each one?

The bar that affects the compass is the magnet, The bar that is attracted to the magnet is iron, and the bar that is not attracted to the magnet is aluminum.


What is the moveable bar in a compass called?

The movable bar in a compass is called the compass needle. It is typically a thin magnetized bar that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field to indicate direction.


What happens when a bar magnet is brought near a compass?

Which end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet?

The north end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet.


How to find positive on a magnet?

Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.


What happens when you randomly move the bar magnet round about and above the compass one foot or farther?

When you move the bar magnet around and above the compass about one foot away or farther, the compass needle will not be affected by the magnetic field of the bar magnet. The influence of the magnetic field decreases with distance, so at one foot or more away, the compass needle will remain pointing north as it is not close enough to be affected.


Why does a needle of a compass move when you put a bar of metal close to it?

The compass needle is a magnet and as you have probably tried, a magnet will 'stick' to an Iron bar. Thus as you move the compass near the Iron, its magnetic field lines are bent by the Iron and become locally stronger than the field lines of the planet, deflecting the needle away from north.


Why is a small bar magnet able to deflect a compass from Earth's large magnetic field?

The small bar magnet has a stronger magnetic field, at least at short distances.


How can you use a bar magnet and a length of string to make a compass?

Fill the container about half full of water. Float a leaf on the surface of the water, and float the needle on the leaf. That'll be a beautiful demonstration. I think I'll make one, and I thank you for the idea.


What test would you perform to discover whether a metal bar is a magnet or not?

You can perform a simple test by bringing a compass close to the metal bar. If the compass needle moves or aligns with the metal bar, then the bar is likely a magnet. Another test involves observing if the metal bar can attract small metal objects like paper clips.
