Concept explainers
A strong magnet and a weak magnet attract each other. Which magnet exerts the stronger force—the strong one or the weak one? (Could you have answered this using what learned In Chapter 6?)
To explain: The magnet exerting the strongest force if the weak magnet attracts the strong magnet.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The forces of a force pair in any type of interaction are equal and opposite.
A strong magnet attracts the weak magnet and vice versa then both the magnets exert the equal and opposite forces to each other. So, there is no comparison is involved in this problem.
Conclusion:
Both magnets have equal forces but their directions are opposite to each other.
