Question

Given that pole 1 attracts pole 3. Identify like poles among the following.

• A. 1 & 3
• B. 2 & 4
• C. 1 & 2
• D. 2 & 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2 & 3

Here it is given that pole 1 attracts pole 3, hence pole 1 and 3 are unlike poles. In a magnet we have two poles, north pole and south pole. So pole 1 and pole 2 are also unlike poles. So pole 1 is an unlike pole for both pole 2 and pole 3, hence pole 2 and 3 are like poles
