Problem
Two identical bar magnets lie on a straight line with their centers 5 cm apart. Magnet A (on the left) is oriented N–S (its north pole faces right). Magnet B (on the right) is oriented S–N (its south pole faces left). Determine whether the force between the two magnets is attractive or repulsive, and state the direction of the force on Magnet B.
