Explain why when two pins are hung by their heads from the same pole of a magnet, their pointed ends move apart.ICSE Class 9 Physics Chapter Magnetism

Answer 1

 The reason as to why two pins are hung by their heads from the same pole of a magnet is that both pins get the same charge as the pole to which it is stuck.Hence when the same charge are brought together,they end up repelling.
Their pointed heads move apart because of the influence of the soft iron in the magnetic field of the compass by the soft iron.
