Question

Why repulsion is a surer test of magnetic condition of a body than attraction

Answer 1

repulsion is a sure test of magnetism because if there are two magnets they will attract each other, if there is one magnet and other iron they will also attract each so we will not come to know which is a magnet and which is but repulsion always takes place between the unlike poles of two magnets

Answer 2

Answer:

Repulsion is the sure test for magnetism because it takes place only between two like poles of a magnet whereas attraction takes place between two unlike poles of a magnet and also between a magnet and a magnetic material.
