alleryStart learning →Two bar magnets are brought together north pole facing north pole. What happens?
AThey push each other away
BThey pull each other closer
CThey lose their magnetism
DThey stick together firmly
Answer & 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.
