Question

If a magnet could swing freely, what would happen to its north-seeking pole?

A. It would point toward Earth's north magnetic pole.
B. It would point toward Earth's south magnetic pole.
C. It would rotate back and forth between Earth's magnetic poles.
D. It would remain in its original position.

Answer 1

You clearly identified the pole you're talking about as the
"north-seeking" pole. Assuming your integrity and sincerity,
we would then naturally expect that pole to seek north, and
point to Earth's north magnetic pole.

I'm confident in this answer also because I have several of
these devices hanging from the ceiling of my office, and I can
attest to the fact that on most clear days, they do in fact point
toward Earth's north magnetic pole.
