MAGNETIC ATTRACTION AND REPULSION

If we bring the north-pole of a bar magnet in the vicinity of a freely supported or suspended north-pole of another magnet (or a magnetic needle), it will be observed that the latter is repelled, but if the south-pole of one is brought near the north-pole of the other there will be attraction between the two poles.

Similarly the south-pole of the bar magnet will attract the north-pole and repel south-pole of the suspended magnet.



From the above, the following simple laws can be drawn:


1. Like Poles Repel each other

2. Unlike Poles Attract each other
