Question 44
Easy

A student uses a single plotting compass to determine the direction of the magnetic field at one point near a bar magnet, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Beside a horizontal bar magnet with North (N) on the left and South (S) on the right, a circle representing a plotting compass is shown near the North pole. The needle inside the compass points away from the North pole.

State two ways in which the student could develop this investigation to map the complete shape of the magnetic field lines around the entire bar magnet.
