Properties of a magnet

Important properties of a magnet

In the earth’s magnetic field, a freely suspended magnet comes to rest in North-South direction provided there is no other magnet around it.

There exists a mutual force of attraction between a magnet and magnetic substance.

Every magnet however big or small has two poles, which cannot be isolated.

Unlike poles attract each other and like poles repel each other.

Both the poles of a magnet have equal pole strength.

The strength of a magnet near the poles is more.
