Question 24
Easy

An investigator uses plotting compasses to map the magnetic field surrounding two stationary vertical bar magnets, labeled Magnet X (on top) and Magnet Y (on bottom).

The diagram below shows the orientation of the plotting compasses positioned at key locations around the ends of the two magnets.
