Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems when you put a compass around a bar magnet it points in the direction of the tangent to the magnetic field line at that location. Inside a bar magnet the magnetic field lines run from south to north so i believe the compass "N" will point to the north pole of the bar magnet
