*😳WHY❓❓❓*

=======================

 why magnet show north south direction

A freely suspended magnet always rests in the north-south direction because the magnetic south pole of the earth lies in the geographic north direction and the magnetic north pole of the earth lies in the geographical south direction.

The direction of magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet is from north to south pole outside the magnet and from south pole to north pole inside the magnet . Magnetic field lines outside a permanent magnet always run from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole. Therefore, the magnetic field lines of the earth run from the southern geographic hemisphere towards the northern geographic hemisphere

 🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ =======================

 *How Does an Inkjet Printer Works?* 

Inkjet printers each feature a print head containing thousands of tiny holes. These tiny openings drop microscopic droplets of ink onto the paper in the printer at a speed. Inkjet machines use a liquid ink produced either by either a coloured dye or a liquid that contains solid pigments in suspension.

Instead of metal needles, an ink jet printer fires dots of ink onto the page. While some inkjet printers heat the ink so that it explodes before reaching the page, others rely on electric currents to print text. Instead of utilizing 64 dots per character like the dot matrix printer, the inkjet printer can spray up to 5,000 dots per inch! In fact, recent innovations have radically improved both printing speed and image clarity.

 Kalki (कल्कि), also called Kalkin, is the prophesied tenth and final incarnation of Hindu God Vishnu to end the Kali Yuga, one of the four periods in the endless cycle of existence (Krita) in Vaishnavism cosmology. The end of Kali Yuga states this will usher in the new epoch of Satya Yuga in the cycle of existence, until the MahaPralaya (the Great Dissolution of the Universe).

Kalki is described in the Puranas as the avatar who rejuvenates existence by ending the darkest and destructive period to remove adharma and ushering in the Satya Yuga, while riding a white horse with a fiery sword.[2] The description and details of Kalki are different among various Puranas. Kalki is also found in Buddhist texts, for example the Kalachakra-Tantra of Tibetan Buddhism
