Question1:
How are the north and south poles of magnetic defined?
- The end of a freely rotating bar magnet that points toward the north geographic pole
of Earth is the north-seeking pole, or simply the north pole.
- The opposite end of the magnet is the south-seeking pole, or simply the south pole.
Question2:
In what direction does the north pole of a bar magnet point if it is suspended by a
string?
- Points toward the north geographic pole of Earth.
Question3:
Can a single isolated magnetic pole be created by breaking a magnet in two?
- No, magnets always have two poles.
Question4:
Write three properties of the magnets?
1) Polarized (they have two opposite ends called poles).
2) Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
3) It is impossible to get a monopole from a magnet.
4) When the magnet is free suspended, it points to north-south direction.
Question5:
If you hold a bar magnet in each hand and bring your hands close together, will the
force be attractive or repulsive if the magnets are held in the following ways?
A. The two north poles are brought close together:
Repulsive
B. A north pole and a south pole are brought together:
Attractive
