The magnetic field produced by a bar magnet can be made visible using iron filings, which align to the magnetic field, as shown in the image.

How does the magnetic field in the image compare to Earth’s magnetic field?

The bar magnet has two poles at W and Y, and the magnetic field produced by Earth also has two poles and looks similar to the bar magnet.

The bar magnet has two poles at W and Y, but the magnetic field produced by Earth has three poles and looks different from the bar magnet
