Bar Magnets A and B are placed at right angles. Two compasses, 1 and 2, are placed so that they are equidistant from the two magnets as shown. 1. The arrow in compass 1 indicates the direction in which the north pole of the compass is pointing. Indicate the north and south poles of both bar magnets on the diagram. Explain how you know which pole is which. Compass 1 Magnet A Compass 2 2. Which magnet is stronger or are they the same strength? Explain your reasoning. 3. Compass 2 is directly below the middle of magnet A and directly to the left of the middle of magnet B. Draw an arrow in compass 2 to show the direction in which the north pole of the compass would point. Explain how you determined your answer. Magnet B Bar Magnets A and B are placed at right angles.
