Two bar magnets are brought together north pole facing north pole. What happens?
- They push each other away
- They pull each other closer
- They lose their magnetism
- They stick together firmly
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. They push each other away
1. Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole.
2. Opposite poles pull towards each other, so north attracts south.
3. The same poles push away from each other, so north repels north.
4. The magnets keep their magnetism whichever way they are turned.
