PASSAGE-II : The magnetic field of a magnet is an invisible field which is created by magnetism. Magnets are made by using electrical and mechanical methods. A temporary magnet can be made by passing electricity through a coil.
When the south poles of two magnets are kept close, they will

A

attract

B

repel

C

rotate

D

remain same

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Magnet Poles**: Every magnet has two poles: a north pole and a south pole. The behavior of magnets is determined by these poles. 2. **Identifying Like and Unlike Poles**: Like poles (north-north or south-south) repel each other, while unlike poles (north-south) attract each other. 3. **Analyzing the Given Situation**: The question states that the south poles of two magnets are kept close to each other. 4. **Applying the Rule of Magnetism**: Since both poles are south poles, they are like poles. According to the rule of magnetism, like poles repel each other. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when the south poles of two magnets are kept close, they will repel each other. **Final Answer**: The two south poles will repel each other. ---
