Question

Three magnets are placed on a plastic stick as shown in the image. Explain how the magnets need to be rearranged so that they stick together, and why rearranging them this way allows them to stick together.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnets need to be arranged so that the blue side of one magnet faces the red side of another magnet. When they are arranged in this way, the opposite poles of the magnets will be closest together. Because opposite poles attract, the force of the magnets will make the magnets stick together.
