Explain about repulsion between similar poles of 2 magnets. Is it a pull or a push?

Solution

Like poles (or like charges) tend to repel each other. So, the two magnets will push each other.

A force under the influence of which objects tend to move away from each other is called repulsion.

Q. Assertion(A): Repulsion is the sure test for magnetism.

Two short magnets with pole strengths of $900 A m$ and $100 A m$ are placed with their axes in the same vertical line, with similar poles facing each other. Each magnet has a length of $1 c m$ . When separation between the nearer poles is $1 c m$ , the weight of the upper magnet is supported by the repulsive force between the magnets. If $g = 10 m s^{- 2}$ , then the mass of upper magnet is ( $x \times 10^{- 4}$ )
