Question

In the diagram, the magnetic poles $\text{'}X\text{'}and\text{'}Y\text{'}$ are …….. and ……., respectively.

• A. South, South
• B. North, South
• C. South, North
• D. North, North

Answer 1

The correct option is C

South, North

1. Since the magnetic field is in one direction, the poles are either south or north.
2. Now the direction of the field is from right to left.
3. We know that the magnetic lines move from the north pole to the south pole outside the agent.
4. In the diagram, the magnetic poles $\text{'}X\text{'}and\text{'}Y\text{'}$ are south and north respectively.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
