Shashi was rolling a bar magnet in fine sand. She pulled out magnet from the sand and noticed fine grey particles sticking on the ends of the magnet. However, no particles were sticking in the middle of the magnet. She wanted to know the basic facts clarified such observation with basic facts.

Answer the following questions based on above information:

Why are these fine particles sticking at the ends of the bar magnet but not in the middle of the magnet?

MEDIUM
A bar magnet has no marking to indicate its poles. How will you find its poles, without using a magnet?
EASY
You are given a bar magnet with a length of string tied to it such that the magnet can hang from it. By just observing the magnet, how can you find out which end is the north pole? Explain your answer.
