Activity 11.6 Class 8 Science

 

·    Take a pair of bar magnets.

·    Place the longer side of one of the magnets over three round-shaped pencils or wooden rollers as shown in Figure.

·     Now bring one end of the other magnet near the end of the magnet placed on the rollers.

·    Make sure that the two magnets do not touch each other.

·    Observe what happens.

·    Next, bring the other end of the magnet near the same end of the magnet placed on the rollers Fig.

·    Note what happens to the magnet placed on the rollers every time another magnet is brought near it.

 

Experiment of magnets - Attraction and repulsion

 Observation and explanation 

When the other end (e.g- S pole) of a magnet is brought near the one end (e.g.- N pole), the magnet on the pencils or rollers starts moving towards the magnet in hand. This shows the attraction takes place between the different ends (poles) of magnets.

In the second case, the same end(pole) is brought near the end of the magnet on the roller, then the magnet starts moving away from the magnet in hand. This shows the repulsion takes place between the same ends (poles) of magnets.

 

Conclusion 

The activity shows that like poles of magnets repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.
