Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The north pole of a bar magnet is moved close to the north pole of a second bar magnet. What prediction best describes how the first magnet responds when it is released?
A
It will move toward the second magnet because like poles repel.
B
It will move toward the second magnet because like poles attract.
C
It will move away from the second magnet because like poles repel.
D
It will move away from the second magnet because like poles attract.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The north pole of a bar magnet is moved close to the north pole of a second bar magnet. What prediction best describes how the first magnet responds when it is released? It will move toward the second magnet because like poles repel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. Hence, when the North pole of a bar magnet is brought near the North pole of a freely suspended magnetic needle, they will repel each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike poles of magnets attract each other and like poles of magnets repel each other. So when the south pole of a bar magnet is brought near the north pole of a ring magnet, they will attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a magnet comes closer to another magnetic material, it will either attract or repel depending upon the polarity of the magnet. Unlike poles attract each other and like poles repel each other. So when south pole of a magnet is brought near the north pole of a freely suspended magnetic needle, it will attract. Q.
