Question

magnetic attraction
test whether each pair of magnets will attract or repel.

attract repel

Explanation:

The rule for magnetic poles is that like poles repel and opposite poles attract. For each pair of magnets, we check the facing poles. If they are \(N - S\) or \(S - N\) (opposite), they attract. If \(N - N\) or \(S - S\) (like), they repel.

1. First row left: \(S - S\) (repel was correct as per rule).
2. First row middle: \(S - N\) (attract was correct).
3. First row right: \(N - S\) (attract was correct).
4. Second row left: \(S - S\) (repel should be correct, but in the given sheet, attract was wrongly marked. Using the rule, it's repel).
5. Second row middle: \(N - S\) (attract was correct).
6. Second row right: \(N - S\) (attract was correct).
7. Third row left: \(N - N\) (repel should be correct, but in the given sheet, attract was wrongly marked. Using the rule, it's repel).
8. Third row middle: \(S - N\) (attract was correct).
9. Third row right: \(S - S\) (repel should be correct, but in the given sheet, attract was wrongly marked. Using the rule, it's repel).

Answer:

Based on the rule of magnetic poles (\(N - S\) attract, \(N - N\) and \(S - S\) repel):

• First row left: Repel.
• First row middle: Attract.
• First row right: Attract.
• Second row left: Repel.
• Second row middle: Attract.
• Second row right: Attract.
• Third row left: Repel.
• Third row middle: Attract.
• Third row right: Repel.
