- Directive property is, when a magnet is freely suspended, it will always point in the north-south direction
- The Earth is a huge magnet
- Using the directive property, the freely suspended magnet will always be in the north-south direction. These are the geographical north and south. However, since the Earth is a huge magnet, the north pole of the earth, will repel the magnet. Why? Because like repel and unlike attract. Thus, the geographical north pole, where the magnet's north pole is pointing, is actually the magnetic south pole of the Earth. Because like poles repel and the north pole of the magnet will attract the south pole of the earth, which is the geographical north pole.

- Earth is a giant magnet
-Magnetic monopoles do not exist
-A magnetic that is freely suspended points in the N and D direction
- The magnetic north pole is the geographic south pole, vice versa

# data[].attributes.body
The Earth is the a giant magnet whose geographical and magnetic poles are inversely related. The magnetic north pole of Earth is the geographical south pole and the magnetic south pole is the geographical north pole of earth. We also know that like poles repel and unlike poles attract.

1. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract
2. Magnetic monopoles don't exist
3. The south pole of a magnet is the magnetic geographical north pole of earth and vice versa
4. Earth is a large magnet
5. Lodestones are called that because load means path or to lead

A freely suspended magnet always points in the north south direction. This is due to the earth's magnetic poles,but this would not be possible as like poles repel and opposite poles attract. First let's look at why the earth has magnetic poles, Under some circumstances some magnetic materials act as magnet,You imagine earth as 1 big magnenet. Now what about the poles issue? Well, The geographic and magnetic poles are opposite,In simpler word the geological north pole is the magnetic south pole and vise versa.

The reason why a suspended magnet will always point to the north and south poles of the earth is because opposite poles attract, Like poles repel. So the core of the earth is made of iron and nickel, Magnets attract cobalt, nickel and iron. The magnetic south of the earth is the geographical north of the earth, and vice versa.

1. Magnetic monopoles don't exist.
2. The earth is a giant magnet
3. The magnetic north pole is the geographic south pole and vica verca for the south.
4. This is why if you leave a freely suspended magnet the north pole points north nd the south points south

1. Earth itself is a magnet
2.like poles repel and unlike poles attract
3.In the word load stone load means path or to lead.

my learnings
The Earth is a large magnet. This is because the  core of the Earth is made up of nickel and iron, which are magnetic material. This is why  a freely- suspended magnets is attracted to the poles of the Earth- and when the magnets north pole is attracted to the geographical north pole, it is actually the magnetic south of the Earth, and when south pole of the magnet is is it attracted to the geographical south pole it is the magnetic north of the Earth. This is because like poles repel and unlike poles attract.

# data[].attributes.body
A freely suspended magnet always points in the NS direction because the Earth's core consists of melted iron and nickel which are strong magnetic materials. This makes Earth a large magnet. The south pole of a magnet points to the geographical south pole of the Earth, this is actually the magnetic north pole of the Earth.  The north pole of a magnet points to the geographical north pole of the Earth, this is actually the magnetic south pole of the Earth. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.

i have learned about how and why the directive property works. that is because the earth is a giant magnet whose geographical and magnetic poles are inversely related. the earth is a magnet because of the molten iron and nickel which keeps moving under the earth.

# data[].attributes.body
A freely suspended magnet always points towards the north pole since the Earth is a giant magnet made up of mainly iron and nickel in its core. The north pole of the Earth is actually the magnetic south pole of the Earths magnet, which is why the north of our magnet points to the geographical north of the Earth; this is because opposite poles attract.

# data[].attributes.body
My learnings
-A freely suspended magnet points towards the north and south due to the earth being a magnet
-The earth is a giant magnet due to the nickel and iron in it's core.
-The core can act like a magnet
-The earth's magnetic and geographical poles are swapped (eg. the north pole magnetically is the south pole geographically)

Why does a freely suspended magnet point to the north south direction?
I learned that the earth is a magnet as it is made up of magnetic materials in the core. From this, I learned that,
The geographical north pole is the magnetic south pole, and the geographical south pole of the earth is the magnetic north pole.
One example of this is a compass, as it is freely suspended and would point to the north south directions.

My Learnings

1) Earth is a giant magnet.
2) The magnetic north pole of the Earth is actually the geographical south pole, somewhere in Antarctica.
3) The magnetic south pole of the Earth is actually the geographical north pole, somewhere in the Arctic.
4) A suspended magnet's north pole would point north and its south pole would point south. This is how a compass works.

Magnets are an interesting concept that is almost everywhere. The earth's core is made of magnetic materials like iron and zinc. This makes the whole world a magnet. Compasses work on this. The compass is drawn to the north side. They are called Loadstones because Load translates to leader, or lead, which means that these rocks have this name for leading the way for sailors and such.

Yes The reason why a freely suspended magnet always points to north-south direction is because the earth is a giant magnet, the core is made of molten iron and nickel. The geographical north pole is actually the magnetic south pole of the earth, hence attracts the north pole of a bar magnet. And Vice versa. This is because opposite poles of a magnet attract and like poles of a magnet repel and because magnets attract magnetic materials
