Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet.

Problem 1:
We have two magnets:
Left magnet: S (south) on left, N (north) on right
Right magnet: S (south) on left, N (north) on right
They are placed so that the
N pole of the left magnet is facing the
S pole of the right magnet.
Remember the rule:
- Opposite poles attract → N and S attract
- Same poles repel → N and N or S and S repel
Here, N faces S → they should
attract
Looking at the options below:
Option A (left): shows arrows pointing away from each other → “repel”
Option B (right): shows arrows pointing toward each other → “attract”
So we trace the line from the top pair to the
“attract” option.
✔ Correct effect for #1:
attract

Problem 2:
Left magnet: N on left, S on right
Right magnet: S on left, N on right
They are placed so that the
S pole of the left magnet is facing the
S pole of the right magnet.
Same poles face each other → S and S → they
repel
Options:
Option A (left): arrows pointing away → “repel”
Option B (right): arrows pointing together → “attract”
So we trace to the
“repel” option.
✔ Correct effect for #2:
repel

Problem 3:
This one is about static electricity in a dryer.
When clothes tumble in a dryer, especially synthetic fabrics like socks and sweaters, they can build up static charge.
Usually, different materials rub together and become charged — often, socks (especially wool or synthetic) stick to sweaters because opposite charges attract.
In real life, you’ve probably seen socks sticking to sweaters after drying — that’s attraction due to static electricity.
The image shows:
- Left: sweater and sock separated → labeled “repel”
- Right: sock stuck to sweater → labeled “attract”
Since static cling causes them to stick, the correct effect is
attract
✔ Correct effect for #3:
attract

Final Answer:
1. attract
2. repel
3. attract
