which diagram shows magnets that will attract each other?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall magnetic - pole interaction
Opposite magnetic poles attract each other. That is, a north - pole (N) and a south - pole (S) attract.
Step2: Analyze each option
In the first option, we have two N - poles and two S - poles near each other, which repel. In the second option, we have two N - poles near each other and two S - poles near each other, which repel. In the third option, the N - pole of one magnet is near the S - pole of the other magnet, so they attract. In the fourth option, we have two N - poles and two S - poles near each other, which repel.
Answer:
The third diagram (where a north - pole of one magnet is near a south - pole of the other magnet)
