Whether the force by the needle of a compass on Earth equal to, less than or greater than the force exerted by the Earth on the compass needle
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A magnet is an object that produces its own magnetic field which interacts with external magnetic fields. A magnet has two poles- north and south. The law for magnets is that similar poles repel each other while dissimilar poles attract towards each other. These are action and reaction forces and follow
The force exerted by the needle on the earth and vice versa is equal in magnitude as these are action and reaction forces which follow Newton’s third law, which states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Conclusion:
The force exerted by the needle on the earth and vice versa is equal in magnitude.
