Question

all magnets have two sides, or poles, where the magnetic field is strongest. we call these the north pole and the south pole. the state of having two poles is called polarity. when two magnets are near each other, their opposite poles attract each other. this means that the north pole of one magnet and the south pole of the other magnet can connect through magnetic force. on the other hand, like poles repel each other. this means that two south poles do not want to touch each other, and neither do two north poles. like poles will actually pull away from each other as the magnetic force pushes them apart. suppose you have a magnet that is half blue and half green, and the blue pole is attracted to the north pole of another magnet. what is true about the blue and green magnet? choose one option a its green pole has a weaker force. b its blue pole is its south pole. c its blue pole is its north pole. d its green pole is its south pole.

Explanation:

1. From the text, opposite poles of magnets attract (north - south attract, south - north attract), and like poles repel (north - north repel, south - south repel).
2. The blue pole is attracted to the north pole of another magnet. Since opposite poles attract, the blue pole must be the south pole (because north pole of one magnet attracts south pole of another).

Answer:

B. Its blue pole is its south pole.
