To determine which end of the bar magnet is the north pole, you can follow these steps:
1. Suspend the bar magnet in the air using a string so that it can move freely.
2. Observe the magnet carefully and let it come to rest.
3. Slowly bring one end of another bar magnet near the suspended magnet without touching it.
4. Observe the behavior of the suspended magnet closely.
5. If the end of the suspended magnet being brought closer repels the end of the other magnet, then it is the north pole of the suspended magnet. If it attracts, then it is the south pole.
6. To double-check your observation, reverse the ends of the other magnet and repeat the process. Confirm that the same end of the suspended magnet repels or attracts the respective pole of the other magnet.
7. Once you determine the correct end of the magnet that repels the north pole, label it as the north pole. The opposite end of the magnet will be the south pole.
By observing the repulsion or attraction between magnets, you can determine the poles of an unlabeled magnet.
Suppose you are in the physics laboratory and you are given a bar magnet whose poles are
not labelled. Dese how you could dete which end of the the north pole
