Question

Problem 6

Answer 1

Given information

There are two ion bars given 

We need to determine if they will be able to attract each other irrespective of the way they have been placed.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Magnets have a tendency to attract each other when they are placed together. 

In that case, when magnets are placed with opposite poles together, they will attract each other, when they are placed with the same poles together, they will repel each other.

So, if both iron rods are magnets, they'll attract each other if the opposite poles are placed together otherwise, they will repel each other.
