Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
select all options where the magnets would attract
A
north pole to north pole
B
south pole to south pole
C
north pole to south pole
D
south pole to north pole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Unlike-poles attract: When a north pole and south pole point together, the arrows point in the SAME direction so the field lines can join up and the magnets pull together (attract).

Detailed explanation-3: -Opposite poles attract, or pull, each other. In other words, the north pole of one magnet will click together with the south pole of another magnet, and two north poles will push each other away.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outside the magnet, the lines travel from the north pole to the south pole. Hence, when a south pole is placed in close proximity to a north pole of another magnet, the magnetic field lines coming out of the north pole tend to go towards the south pole of the other magnet. This causes the two magnets to attract.
