Answer to Question #110966 in Electric Circuits for Emily Pons

Question

1. Sketch two identical linear magnets with the following orientations of their magnetic poles:
a) S – N and N – S, b) S – N and S – N
If the axes of the magnets are in the same straight line, draw the magnetic field lines for the two magnets.

Answer 1

I have attached the image of the two bar magnets in the orientation S – N and N – S & S – N and S – N

and it also shows the magnetic field lines

This pictures clearly depicts how like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other
