Questions and Answers

What will happen when two toy trains with opposite magnetic poles (N and S) are placed close to each other?

  • The trains will move closer to each other because the magnetic force will pull the trains together.
  • The trains will move away from each other because the magnets are not touching.
  • The trains will not move because the magnets are not touching.
  • The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart. (correct)

    • Like magnetic poles repel each other.

    Study Notes

    Magnetic Forces

    • Opposite magnetic poles attract.
    • Like magnetic poles repel.
    • Magnets exert forces on each other, even when not touching.
    • The force between magnets depends on the distance and strength of the magnets.
    • The force is strongest when the magnets are close together; and weaker when far apart.
