    string1.
    - Displace Both slightly horizontall1.
    - Displace Both slightly horizontally.
    ii) The bar magnet nettles pointing1 in the North – South direction.
    - The iron bar nettles pointing in any direction1.
    b) P requires less current1 for all the dispoles1 to be aligned in one
    direction/ to reach magnetic saturation while Q requires more
    current for all the dipoles to be aligned in one direction / to reach
    magnetic saturation.
    - P is soft magnetic material while Q is hard magnetic material1
