A bar magnet behaves in an external field like a:
AElectric charge
BMagnetic monopole
CNeutral conductor
DMagnetic dipole
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Magnetic dipole
1. Its field pattern matches that of a current carrying solenoid.
2. At large distances it also matches an electric dipole pattern.
3. So the bar magnet is a magnetic dipole.
