A small bar magnet is held by the magnetic force of a strong bar magnet fixed on its position on a rough inclined plane, as shown in the given figure. The small bar magnet experiences (a) only magnetic force (b) magnetic and frictional forces (c) gravitational and magnet forces (d) gravitational, magnetic, and frictional forces

Answer:

Here, the student is required to recognize the forces experienced by the small bar magnet. All objects having mass attract each other by a force known as gravitational force. Therefore, the two magnets attract each other by gravitational force. Two magnets can attract or repel each other by magnetic force.
