    Two magnets are placed at a distance from each other on a frictionless surface, as shown in the given figure. The magnets will experience

    A)  only magnetic force

    B)  only frictional force

    C)  magnetic and frictional forces

    D)  magnetic and gravitational forces

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

      This question is successfully answered by the student who can recognize the various forces that act on the magnets. All objects having mass attract each other by a force known as the gravitational force. Since both magnets have mass, they attract each other by gravitational force. Like poles of a magnet repel each other, while unlike poles attract each other by a magnetic force. Since the magnets are placed on a frictionless surface, they do not experience any frictional force. Hence, the magnets will experience magnetic and gravitational forces. The correct answer is D.
