You are given two identical bars, one of which is magnetised. How will you select the magnetised bar?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two bars are suspended by a silk thread one by one so as to swing freely in a horizontal plane. The bar which comes to rest in the north-south direction will be the magnetized bar.
