Description

Magnetic Forces

When two magnets are placed near each other, they can either attract or repel each other depending on their orientation. This interaction is due to the magnetic fields generated by the magnets.

  1. a

    State the effect of bringing two like poles of magnets together.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.
