A magnetic needle suspended horizontally by an unspun silk fibre, oscillates in the horizontal plane because of the restoring force originating mainly from

1. The torsion of the silk fibre
2. The force of gravity
3. The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field
4. All the above factors

Correct answer: The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field
