question: Will these magnets attract or repel each other?
choice: (A) repel (B) attract
context: Two magnets are placed as shown. Hint: Magnets that attract pull together. Magnets that repel push apart.
gold answer: B
wrong prediction: A
Rationale:
- 0: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching.
- 1: When magnets attract, they pull together.
- 2: When magnets repel, they push apart.
- 3: Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles, or ends.
- 4: Every magnet has two poles, called north and south.
- 5: The north pole of each magnet is marked N, and the south pole is marked S.
- 6: If different poles are closest to each other, the magnets attract.
- 7: If the same poles are closest to each other, the magnets repel.
- 8: Will these magnets attract or repel?
- 9: To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other.
- 10: The north pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet.
- 11: Poles that are the same repel.
- 12: So, these magnets will repel each other.
- 13: The answer is A.
