How many neutral points on a horizontal board are there when a magnet is held vertically on the board?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There will be only one neutral point on the horizontal board. This is because field of earth is from south to north, and the field of magnetic pole on the board is radially outwards. At any point towards south of magnetic pole, field of earth and field of magnetic pole will cancel out to give a neutral point.
