HOW FORCES ACT


Normally, forces act when two objects come into contact.
Sometimes forces act when there is no contact between objects.
This happens with magnetic force.
A magnet can attract or repel objects from a distance.
Magnets have two ends, or poles.

  • When we put the same poles of two magnets together, they repel each other.
  • When we put the different poles of two magnets together, they attract.
Force of attraction: A magnet pulls iron objects towards it.
Force of repulsion: Repulsion means when things push apart from each other.
