Question

Which statement correctly describes the interaction between magnetic poles?

North and south poles attract each other.
North and south poles repel each other.
Two north poles will attract each other.
Two south poles will attract each other.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnetic poles are the poles placed at each end of a bar magnet. Both theses poles are different from each other in a bar magnet.

That is, if one pole a bar magnet is north pole then other pole will be south pole.

Like opposite charges attract each other, the opposite poles a bar magnet attract each other.

For example, north pole will be attracted by a south pole and vice-versa.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement north and south poles attract each other correctly describes the interaction between magnetic poles.

Answer 2

North and south poles attract each other.

Magnetic poles with the same polarity repel each other.
