Question

4.1.4 quiz: magnetism
question 3 of 10
why do the north and south poles of these magnets attract each other?
a. they have two different magnetic fields.
b. the magnetic fields of the two magnets repel each other.
c. the opposite magnetic poles of the two magnets face each other.
d. they have opposite electrical charges.

Explanation:

Magnetic poles follow the rule that opposite poles (north - south) attract each other. In the given situation, the opposite magnetic poles of the two magnets face each other. Option A is incorrect because having different magnetic fields doesn't explain the attraction. Option B is wrong as repelling magnetic fields would not cause attraction. Option D is incorrect because magnets' attraction is due to magnetic poles, not electrical charges.

Answer:

C. The opposite magnetic poles of the two magnets face each other.
