The diagram shows the filed lines near the poles, x and y, of two magnets.

based in the field lines, what are the poles of the magnets

The correct answer to the question is C) X: North pole and Y: North pole

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand  magnetic field lines.

The magnetic filed lines are the imaginary pictorial representation of the magnetic filed . Outside of the magnet, the field lines move from north pole to south pole. Inside the magnet, its direction is reversed i.e from south pole to north pole. Hence, magnetic field lines form closed loop.

Again we know that like poles repel each other, and unlike poles attract.

In the given question, the magnetic fled lines are originating from X and Y, and these lines are exerting lateral pressure on each other. It means that the two poles are of same nature.

As the field lines are directed away from X and Y, and repulsive in nature, both the poles are north poles.

Hence, X : North pole and Y: north pole .                     

tis but C
