Question

Suppose you have two magnets. Magnet A doesn't have its poles labeled, but Magnet B does have a clearly labeled north and south pole. If these two are brought into contact with one another, which of the following could you expect?

A. The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's north pole must be Magnet A's north pole.
B. The side of Magnet A that's repelled by Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole.
C. The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole.
D. The side of Magnet A that's repelled by Magnet B's north pole must be Magnet A's south pole

Answer 1

The right answer here would be option C - the side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole. This is due to the magnetic rule of opposites attracting.

Answer 2

Like poles of 2 magnets Repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. so the answer would be C. the side of magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's South pole must be Magnet A's North pole.
