This is an edited version of the experiment set for the experimental examination conducted at the orientation cum selection camp held at Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (TIFR), Mumbai in May 2011. Students are aware that like poles of two magnets repel. In this experiment we investigate the repulsive force with respect to the distance between the two magnets. It also investigates the nature of the repulsive force between a solenoid and a magnet.
