The north pole of a handheld bar magnet is brought near the north pole of a second bar magnet lying on a table. How will the second magnet tend to move? Explain.
The behavior of second magnet placed on the table when its north pole is brought near the north pole of a handled bar magnet.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The second magnet placed on the table will move away.
Explanation of Solution
For magnets, like poles repel and unlike poles attract each other. In the given situation, the north Pole of a magnet is brought towards the north pole of other magnet on the table. At this moment, magnet on the table will start to move away.
This is because the force between the same poles is repulsive in nature and in between opposite poles it is attractive in nature.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the second magnet placed on the table will move away.

- A charged particle is traveling through a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true of the magnetic field? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) It exerts a force on the particle parallel to the field. (b) It exerts a force on the particle along the direction of its motion. (c) It increases the kinetic energy of the particle. (d) It exerts a force that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. (e) It does not change the magnitude of the momentum of the particle.arrow_forwardAt a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 104 T, pointing 75 below the horizontal in a north-south plane.
