Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you bring the ends of two bar magnets together and they immediately “click” in attraction to one another, the poles are ____
A
north and south
B
north and north
C
south and south
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you put the north pole of one magnet next to the south pole of the other, then the field lines go straight from the north pole of the first magnet to the south pole of the second, and you feel an attractive force between the two magnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets can also attract each other, but only if they face in opposite directions. A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike poles of magnets attract each other while the like poles repel. Hence, when the north pole of one magnet is brought near the north pole of another magnet, they would repel each other. Q. Two bar magnets repel when brought closer to each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you line the magnets up so that two of the same poles face each other, the magnets will push away. This is called repulsion. Opposite poles attract each other, but similar poles repel.
