Question

How can you find out the north and south poles of a magnet using another magnet with its north and south poles clearly labelled?

Answer 1

• Procedure: Bring the known North pole of the labelled magnet near one end of the unlabelled magnet.
• Identification:
  • If the end repels, it is the North pole (like poles repel).
  • If the end attracts, it is the South pole (opposite poles attract).
