A student places a compass just beyond end A of an unlabelled bar magnet. The north-seeking end of the compass needle points towards end A. At this position, the effect of other magnetic fields on the compass is negligible.
Explain what the compass reading shows about end A and predict what would happen if the north pole of another permanent magnet were brought near end A.
