When iron filings sprinkled, the arrangement of iron filing is as below :

The pattern suggests that :

$(i)$ The patterns of the iron filings suggests that the magnet has two poles similar to the positive and negative charge of an electric dipole.

- One pole is designated the north pole and the other the south pole.

$(ii)$ When suspended freely, these poles point towards the geographic north and south poles respectively.

$(iii)$ A similar pattern of iron filings is observed around a current carrying solenoid.
