A toy car ( made of soft iron ) and two bar magnets are arranged as shown in the figure. What would happen if the magnet 'A' is moved towards the car as shown in the figure. ?

Options

A. The car will not have any impact due to the motion of the magnet .
B. The car moves away from magnet A.
C. The car moves towards magnet A.
D. The car moves till it is exactly mid-way between the two magnets.

Explanation

Since the front part of the toy car is in contact with the south pole of a magnet B, its rear part acts as the south pole. As magnet A moves towards the rear part of the car, it should move away from magnet A due to magnetic repulsion.
Hence , the correct option is (b).
