Both magnets and static electricity repel like charges and attract to opposite charges. Magnets repel the same poles and attract opposite poles. Static electricity repels like charges and attracts unlike charges.

There are many similarities between static electricity and magnetism.

Some similarities are:

1.Similar repel , opposite attract:

The two opposite kinds of electric charge are called positive and negative. Opposite

charges attract each other , and similar charges repel each other.

A magnet has two opposite poles, referred to as north and south. Opposite magnetic

poles attract each other, and similar magnetic poles repel each ,exactly as happens

with electric charges.

2. The force with which magnetic poles attract or repel each other depends on the strength of the poles and the distance between them. This relationship is similar to Coulomb's inverse square law for electric charges , which is

electric charge= (coulomb constant x first charge x second charge)/(distance)2

3.Electricity produces magnetic effects and magnetism produces electric effects.

The relationship between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism.
