Problem
When the north pole of one bar magnet is brought close to the south pole of a second identical bar magnet, which of the following best describes the magnetic interaction between the two magnets?
(a) They repel and move apart.
(b) They attract and move toward each other.
(c) They experience only a torque that causes rotation, so their centers of mass remain fixed in space.
(d) No net force acts because each magnet has zero overall magnetic charge.
