Question Question 1
Why does a compass needle get deflected when brought near a bar magnet?
The compass needle is a small magnet. When the compass needle is brought close to a bar magnet, the magnetic field lines of the compass needle interact with the magnetic field lines of bar magnet causing the compass needle to get deflected.
