|
1 mL |
|
1 ML |
|

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
opposite poles attract each other |
|
all of these are untrue |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
