KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -The magnetic field is the area around a magnet that has magnetic force. All magnets have north and south poles . Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic forces are non contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them. Magnets are only attracted to a few ‘magnetic’ metals and not all matter. Magnets are attracted to and repel other magnets.

Detailed explanation-3: -When two magnets are placed with their likepoles facing each other, the lines of force arein opposite directions and hence like poles repel each other. When the unlike poles of a bar magnet face each other the magnetic lines of force are in the same direction and henceunlike poles attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -When opposite poles of the magnets approach, they attract each other. Any north-south combination will pull them together. But when two like poles come together, they push each other apart. Two north poles will not stick together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike poles of magnet attract each other while like poles repel. So, the south and the north pole of two magnets will attract each other.
