If we place the magnetic compass near the north pole of the magnet, which pole of the needle will point towards it

1 North pole  
2 South pole  
3 Keep deflecting  
4 None of these

As like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. Therefore, when the North pole of a bar magnet is brought near the compass, it gets deflected in the south direction.
