To solve the question "A freely suspended magnet always lies in," we need to understand the behavior of magnets when they are allowed to move freely. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Magnet Behavior**: A magnet has two poles: a north pole and a south pole. When a magnet is freely suspended, it can rotate and align itself according to the Earth's magnetic field. 2. **Suspension of the Magnet**: When we suspend a magnet using a thread or rope, it is free to rotate. The north pole of the magnet will experience a force that aligns it with the Earth's magnetic field. ...
