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.

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem.
