The north end of the freely suspended magnet points towards??
Dear Student,
The earth behaves as a magnetic dipole . Therefore, a freely suspended magnet always points towards in the north-south direction because the north pole of the suspended magnet attracts the south pole of the earth's magnet which is the geographical north pole of the earth.
The south pole of the suspended magnet attracts the north pole of the earth's magnet which is the geographical south pole of the earth.
Regards
