Similar poles of a magnet repel each other. State whether the statement is True (or) False And Justify it.
Answers
Answer:
This statement is true.
In magnetic materials, the electrons in the atoms spin in only one direction. This leads to the formation of negative and positive sides of the magnetic material. this makes the magnetic force flow from the north pole to the south pole.
This magnetic force creates a magnetic field around the magnetic material. Due to this field created by the magnetic force, like poles repel each other whereas the unlike poles attract each other.
Answer:
True. 'Similar poles of a magnet' indeed repel each other.
Explanation:
A magnet has 'two poles' – the north pole and the south pole. Dissimilar poles of a magnet attract one another and the similar poles repel. Near the poles, the magnet force is stronger.
The 'force of attraction' lies between a 'north pole and a south pole', as opposite poles attract. Therefore when similar poles are placed together, the line of magnetic field gets shunned from each other and repulsion occurs.
