Name of the chapter : PLAYING WITH MAGNETS Worksheet No : 12
Name of the topic / concept : ATTRACTION AND REPULSION
CONCEPTS:
1. Attraction between two magnets
2. Repulsionbetween two magnets
3. Earth as a magnet
LEARNING OUT COMES:
The learner …
1. Explains repulsion and attraction between two magnets
2. Identifies that the Earth is a magnet.
CONCEPT PRESENTATION:
Observe the picture:
Take two similar magnets, place them in four different ways as shown in
figure.
• When do the magnets attract each other?
When a magnet’s north pole brought near the second magnet’s north pole
and a magnet’s south pole that brought near the second magnet’s south pole,
they show repulsion. When a magnet’s south pole brought to the second
magnet’s north pole shows attraction.
Like poles (N-N,S-S ) repel each other and unlike poles (N-S, S-N )
attract each other.

CONCEPT:
1. Magnet
CONCEPT PRESENTATION:
Take three objects of same size, shape and colour and a bar magnet.
Bring three objects one after the other close to one pole of the bar magnet and
observe.
Bring these three objects one after the other near to the pole of the bar
magnet and observe.
25
Record your observations in the following table
If an object is attracted by one pole of the bar magnet and repelled by the
other pole, it is a magnet.
If an object is attracted by both the poles, and bar magnet and not repelled
by any pole, it is not a magnet but a magnetic substance.
