What would happen if we tried forcing a bar magnet into a magnetic field created by a solenoid (look at the picture)? Assume that both the bar magnet and the solenoid are isolated form any other source of a magnetic field. What I am thinking:
First of all, if we tried forcing the north side in, it would simply get repelled and we wouldn't be able to get it inside. Now, if we tried forcing in the south side of the bar magnet, it would get attracted so the solenoid would work as a catapult.
When it comes to the first sentence, I think that should happen but, I am not sure what happens when we turn the bar magnet around. Also, would the induced emf play a significant role in this case?
Thanks in advance
