What are the two types of magnetic poles?

• North pole and South pole

• Top pole and Bottom pole

• Positive pole and Negative pole

• East pole and West pole

Which type of pole attracts the north pole of a magnet?

• south pole

• west pole

• east pole

• north pole

What happens when two like poles of a magnet are brought close to each other?

• They explode.

• They merge into one magnet.

• They attract each other.

• They repel each other.

Explain the concept of magnetic repulsion.

• Magnetic repulsion is the phenomenon where two magnets with like poles (north-north or south-south) push away from each other.

• Magnetic repulsion is the force that pulls two magnets together

• Magnetic repulsion is when two magnets attract each other

• Magnetic repulsion occurs when two magnets with opposite poles push away from each other

How can you determine the north and south poles of a magnet using a compass?

• Observe the direction in which the needle of the compass points when brought near the magnet. The end of the needle that points towards the magnet's end is the opposite pole of the magnet.

• Observe the color of the magnet

• Listen for a sound when the magnet is near the compass

• Measure the weight of the magnet
