Physics
You have one magnet with a marked north and south pole and a one unmarked magnet. How will you find the poles of the unmarked magnet?
Answer
We can find the poles of unmarked magnet with the following method :
- Take the marked magnet (with known north and south poles).
- Bring its north pole near one end of the unmarked magnet.
- If it attracts, that end of the unmarked magnet is its south pole.
- If it repels, that end is its north pole.
- Repeat the test with the other end of the unmarked magnet to confirm.
This method works because like poles repel and unlike poles attract each other.
