Where are the poles of a bar magnet located?

ncert class 6 science Chapter 13 question answer, Answer :

Poles of a bar magnet are located at the ends.
When a bar magnet is placed near some iron filings, we observe more iron filings clinging to the magnet near its ends.
See Figs. 13.3 and 13.4(a).

The ends of a magnet where maximum iron filings get clung, i.e., the attraction is strongest, are known as poles.

cbse class 6 science Chapter 13, Question 7.

A bar magnet has no markings to indicate its poles. How would you find out near which end is its north pole located?

cbse science class 6 solutions, Answer :

We will suspend the bar magnet. It will come to rest in a north-south direction. The end of the magnet pointing towards the north direction is called a north pole.

cbse class 6 science notes pdf, Question 8.

You are given an iron strip. How will you make it into a magnet?

ncert class 6 science Chapter 13 question answer, Answer :

We can convert an iron strip by repeatedly stroking it by a bar magnet systematically. Take the iron strip and keep it on a wooden table. Stroke it with one pole of a bar magnet in one direction. When you reach the other end of the iron strip, lift the magnet and bring the same pole back to the starting end of the iron piece, stroke again, in the same direction. Repeat this process about 30-40 times. After that check the iron strip whether the iron strip has now become a magnet. If not, continue the process for some more time. Remember the pole of the magnet and the direction of stroking is not to be changed. In the same way, the iron needle can also be converted into a magnet.

How is a compass used to find directions?

cbse science class 6 solutions, Answer :

The compass is kept at the place where we want to know the directions. Its needle indicates the north-south direction when it comes to rest. The compass is then rotated until the north and south marked on the dial are at the two ends of the needle. Thus north and south directions are identified.
