Question

In which of the following cases, the distance between the two magnets increases?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2 & 3

Unlike poles of magnets attract each other and like poles repel each other. Observe in case 1 and 4, unlike poles are facing towards each other and that in case 2 and 3, like poles are facing each other. Hence magnets in case 2 and 3 will repel each other and distance between them will increase.
