Question 4

Column I shows different positions in which one pole of a magnet is placed near that of the other. Column II indicates the resulting action between them for each situation. Fill in the blanks.

$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ N-N& \dots \dots \\ N-\dots \dots & Attraction\\ S-N& \dots \dots \\ \dots \dots -S& Repulsion\end{array}$

Answer 1

We know that like poles of a magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. So the result of the activity can be tabulated as below.

$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ N-N& \underset{–}{Repulsion}\\ N-\underset{–}{S}& Attraction\\ S-N& \underset{–}{Attraction}\\ \underset{–}{S}-S& Repulsion\end{array}$
