Why does the metal move away from the magnet when we keep it near it?
Answers
Explanation:
Magnetic Field,
The term magnetism comes from the region of Magnesia, a city in Western Turkey, where Greeks found lodestones, which attracted iron pieces across the space. It is also observed that, magnets attract as well as repel. We can explain this dual nature of magnetic force by proposing that each magnet has two poles, north pole (N) and south pole (S). You will observe two things during the activities:
1) When two magnets are brought near each other, like poles repel; opposite poles attract.
2) When a magnet is brought near a piece of iron, the iron also gets attracted to the magnet, and it acquires the same ability to attract other pieces of iron.
Answer:
Like-poles repel: We can use curvy arrows (called field lines) to draw the shape of the magnetic field around magnets. ... When two like-poles point together, the arrows from the two magnets point in OPPOSITE directions and the field lines cannot join up. So the magnets will push apart (repel).Nov 11, 2018
