A flat horizontal rectangular bar magnet is centered in the diagram. The bar magnet is divided into two equal halves, with the left half labeled with a capital letter N representing the north pole and the right half labeled with a capital letter S representing the south pole. A black dot labeled Location 1 is positioned a short distance directly above the horizontal center of the top edge of the bar magnet. A second black dot labeled Location 2 is positioned a short distance directly to the left of the left edge of the bar magnet, along the horizontal axis that passes through the middle of the magnet. No magnetic field lines, compasses, arrows, or vector indicators are shown. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
