Practice Test 6

The compass needle will point perpendicular to the magnetic field direction at P, because forces act at right angles to field lines.

The compass needle will point directly toward the closest pole no matter where P is, because magnetic forces always point straight at the nearest pole.

The compass will not be affected unless it touches the magnet, because forces only act when objects are in contact.

The compass needle will align with the magnetic field direction at P (pointing tangent to the field line there), showing the direction the field would push/pull magnetic objects.
