Question:
We know that north and south are opposite to each other then why do poles of an horse shoe magnet points in same direction.if I freely suspend an horse shoe magnet the it will point in which direction and why?
Answer:
The poles of the horse shoe magnet are not in the same direction but they are in the same plane. This is due to the shape of the magnet which is in the form of U.
A freely suspended horse shoe magnet will try to align itself in the North-South direction.
