Answer
Some commonly known facts about magnetism:
- Every regardless of its size and shape has two poles called north pole and
- Isolated magnetic monopoles do not exist. If a magnet is broken into two or more pieces then each piece behaves like an independent magnet with some what weaker magnetic field.
- Like magnetic poles repel each other, whereas unlike poles attract each other.
- When a bar magnet/ magnetic needle is suspended freely or is pivoted, it aligns itself in geographically north-south direction.
