Question

The end of one bar magnet is placed near the end of another bar magnet. The two ends seem to push each other apart. Which of these statements is true?A.The two ends are like poles.B.The two ends are unlike poles.C.There are like charges on the two ends.D.There are unlike charges on the two ends

Answer 1

Answer:

A.The two ends are like poles

Explanation:

Magnets are composed of a north pole and a south pole. If two like poles of a magnetic are placed near each other, the two ends seem to push apart.

The reason for this is that, when like poles of two magnets are made to face each other, the lines of forces are in opposite directions, hence the magnets repel.

If unlike poles of two bar magnets are made to face each other, the magnetic lines of force are now in the same direction therefore the unlike poles attract each other.
