Question 1 Report

Lodestone is a natural magnet, it points at
Answer Details
A lodestone is a natural magnet that points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole when suspended freely. The Earth has a magnetic field that causes a lodestone to align in a North-seeking direction. When a lodestone is suspended freely, it will align itself in a way that points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole, which is why a lodestone points towards the North-South direction. So, the correct answer is N – S when suspended freely.
