Question

question 12 (3 points) which of the following two statements is supported by your results? 1. like poles attract and opposite poles repel. 2. opposite poles attract and like poles repel. write a complete paragraph supporting which claim you think is true and explaining how the evidence supports your choice by describing the experiment you just completed. (a good paragraph will have multiple sentences - restate what you observed!) suggested start: \my experiment demonstrated that... (make your claim)\

Explanation:

First, identify the correct scientific claim about magnetic poles, then construct a paragraph that starts with the suggested opening, restates the experimental observations, and links them to the claim. The correct scientific principle is that like magnetic poles repel, and opposite poles attract.

Answer:

1. 2. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel.
2. My experiment demonstrated that opposite poles attract and like poles repel. When I brought the north pole of one bar magnet near the south pole of a second bar magnet, I observed the two magnets pull toward each other, clinging together when they made contact. In contrast, when I tried to bring the north pole of the first magnet near the north pole of the second, the magnets pushed away from one another; I could feel a clear resistance when trying to move them close. I repeated this test with the south poles of both magnets and saw the same repelling motion. These consistent observations confirm that magnetic poles follow the rule of opposite poles attracting and like poles repelling.
