Question

Which statement is true about magnetic poles?

Answer 1

The correct answer is North & South poles attract each other. This is because opposites attract. If it were a north & north pole they'd repel each other, same if it were a south & south pole. This is because each magnetic field has a way of attracting two opposite poles (north to south, south to north).

Answer 2

Answer;

North and south poles attract each other.

Explanation;

• A magnet is a material that has an ability to produce magnetic fields.
• A magnet has two poles, north pole and a south pole. The north pole is the side which points north when a magnet is freely suspended on air, while south pole is the pole that points south.
• Based on the basic law of magnetism, like poles repel while unlike poles attract. Therefore, north pole attracts with a south pole, but repels another north pole. Two north poles repel while two south poles also repel.
