When the magnet on the right is moved toward the suspended magnet on the left, a repulsive force between the two magnets causes the suspended magnet to swing to the left; option B
Magnets are materials which exhibit magnetism or produces a magnetic field.
Magnets attract other objects to themselves and these objects are said to be magnetic.
Magnetic objects include metals such as iron.
A magnet has two ends called poles. The poles of a magnet are the North and South pole.
Magnetic lines of forces begin at the North pole whereas magnetic lines of forces end in at the south Pole.
The law of magnetism states that like poles of a magnet repel each other while unlike poles attract.
Considering the given magnets;
the magnet on the right is moved toward the suspended magnet on the left causing the suspended magnet to move to the left means that the end of the magnets repel each other.
This implies that the ends are two similar ends of the magnets.
In conclusion, unlike ends of a magnet attract whereas unlike ends repel.
