Objectives:
• Identify the polarities and strengths of a bar magnet
and magnetized objects using a compass.
• Demonstrate magnetization by stroking.

PART A. North meets south

Guide Questions:
Q16. What happens when you randomly move the bar magnet roundabout
and above the compass one foot or farther? Nearer than a foot?
Ans. When we moved the magnet around the compass farther away, the
compass needle slightly turned/moved clockwise or counterclockwise
or nothing happened at all. When we moved the magnet around the
compass nearer, the compass moved/turned clockwise or
counterclockwise more noticeably.
Q17. Compass needles are tiny magnets that are free to indicate
the north and south poles of a magnet? What do you need to do to
know the magnet’s polarities?
Ans. Put the magnet on a horizontal surface and place the button
compass next to the magnet's north end and see the compass needle
turn away from the magnet's north end.
Q18. What does the compass needles indicate about the iron nail
shown below in Figure 6?
Ans. Due to the both compass being aligned beside the same north-
south direction, supposing that the iron nail has not yet been
magnetized.
