Question
The figure given below shows the magnetic field between two magnets:
Copy the diagram and label theother poles of the magnets.
Which is the weaker magnet?
Solution
Magnet 1 S-N and Magnet 2 N-S
Magnet 2 is weaker because its lines are bending more. In other words, its lines are experiencing more force exerted by Magnet 1.
