Question 27
Easy

A student investigates magnetic forces using two toy train carriages on a track, as shown in the diagram.

A diagram showing two toy train carriages, Carriage A on the left and Carriage B on the right, on a horizontal track. Each carriage has a bar magnet fixed on top. The magnet on Carriage B (on the right) is labeled with its South pole (S) on the left end (facing Carriage A) and its North pole (N) on the right end. The magnet on Carriage A (on the left) has two blank poles, one on the left end and one on the right end.

The student pushes Carriage A towards Carriage B. The magnet on Carriage A repels the magnet on Carriage B.

Identify which poles should be labeled on the left end and the right end of the magnet on Carriage A.
