The north pole of a bar magnet is moved close to the north pole of a second bar magnet. what prediction best describes how the first magnet responds when it is released? it will move toward the second magnet because like poles repel. it will move toward the second magnet because like poles attract. it will move away from the second magnet because like poles repel. it will move away from the second magnet because like poles attract.

The correct answer is C. It will move away from the second magnet because like poles repel.

Explanation.

Bar magnets, like all magnets have two poles. These two poles are , the north pole and the south pole.  The laws of magnetism state that unlike poles attract and like poles repel. A north pole brought close to a north pole will feel a force repulsive force.

In this case, when the north pole is moved close to the south pole, it will feel a repulsive force. When the magnets are let go this repulsive force will cause the first magnet to move away.

The correct answer is C. It will move away from the second magnet because like poles repel.

what type of charge does it have? negative

the force on the thing and the distance the force moves the thing
