Question
Repulsion is a surer test of magnetic condition of a body than attraction. Explain.
Advertisements
Solution
Repulsion is the surest test of magnetism because the attraction can be caused between two unlike poles of the two magnets or between the magnet and magnetic substance such as iron, nickel etc. But repulsion is caused when two similar poles approach each other.
