How are the magnetic field lines near the south pole of a magnet affected when a second south pole is brought near it? The field lines combine with the lines around the second south pole. The field lines overlap with the lines from the second south pole. The field lines bend toward the second south pole. The field lines bend away from the second south pole.

The field lines bend away from the second south pole.

Explanation:

Magnetic line of force are forces acting on a bar magnet in the magnetic field. It specifies the direction in which a magnet tends to move when placed in the field.

For bar magnets with south poles, the magnetic line of force tends to move away from the south poles of both magnets thereby creating a force of opposition between them since like poles of a magnet repels each other.
