The field lines around one end of a bar magnet are shown below.

A vertical box labeled with a question mark. Curved lines with arrowheads point into the top of the box from the top and sides.
Based on the diagram, what can you conclude about the pole of the magnet?

It is a south pole because the field lines spread out from this end.
It is a north pole because the field lines spread out from this end.
It is a south pole because the field lines enter the magnet at this end.
It is a north pole because the field lines enter the magnet at this end.

It is a south pole because the field lines enter the magnet at this end.

Explanation: Magnetic field lines point away from the north pole and toward the south pole, so arrows pointing into the end indicate a south pole.
