Magnetism

If you wanted to use one magnet to pick up another magnet, what should you do?

• Touch the first magnet's north pole to the second magnet's north pole.

• Touch the first magnet's south pole to the second magnet's south pole.

• Touch the first magnet's north pole to the second magnet's south pole.

• Demagnetize both magnets so neither one has a north or south pole.
