Magnets Can Attract Or Repel Each Other.

When will magnets attract or repel each other?

The rule to remember is that opposites attract.  Every magnet has both a North and a South pole.  When you place the North pole of one magnet near the South pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another.

When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (North to North or South to South), they will repel each other.

1. When different poles of two magnets face each other, the magnets will attract.

2. When the same poles of two magnets face each other, the magnets will repel.
