Q6: The diagram shows a magnetic pen holder.
There is a small magnet in the top of the pen holder and there is another small magnet in
the top of the pen.
The upward force from the magnets is greater than the weight of the pen.

There are two ways in which the magnets can be arranged.


Use the letters N and S to show, on the diagrams below, the magnetic poles in each of the
two arrangements.
