Question

in what direction should the red point of the compass be pointing? options: up, left, right, down (with an image of a u - shaped magnet labeled n (red) and s (green) and magnetic field lines, and a compass icon)

Explanation:

The magnetic field lines around a U - shaped magnet (with N on the left and S on the right) go from the North pole to the South pole. The red point of the compass is the North - seeking pole. At the position of the compass (to the right of the magnet), the magnetic field direction is towards the left (since field lines go from N to S, so at the right side of the magnet, the field direction is towards the left - hand side of the magnet, which would make the North pole of the compass (red point) point left.

Answer:

B. Left
