Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the relationship between magnetic force and distance

The magnetic force between two magnets is inversely related to the distance between them. A smaller distance means a stronger magnetic force. Also, the magnetic force is related to the strength of the magnets (since they are made of the same material, larger magnets have stronger magnetic fields).

Step2: Analyze each pair

  • Pair 1: The distance between the magnets is (2) mm. The magnets are of a certain size.
  • Pair 2: The distance between the magnets is (4) mm. Since (4>2), the force in Pair 2 is less than in Pair 1 (assuming similar magnet - size effects, but here we first consider distance).
  • Pair 3: The distance is (2) mm. But one of the magnets is smaller. A smaller magnet has a weaker magnetic field.
  • Pair 4: The distance is (4) mm. And one magnet is smaller.

Since Pair 1 has the smallest distance and the magnets are of a relatively large size (compared to pairs where one magnet is small), it has the greatest magnetic force.

Answer:

Pair 1
