How do magnets attract and repel each other?
Not only magnets, but metal repel. There are two kinds of charges that metal contain, positive and negative. If you push a positively-charged magnet towards another positively-charged magnet, they'll repel, maybe because one type of charge needs the other to attract. If this one type of charge comes close to another charge of the same kind, it won't receive what it needs, and feel "resent" to the other charge, then repel. If you push a negatively-charged magnet towards another negatively-charged magnet, they will also repel.
How do ring magnets 'float'?
The magnet is placed over a super conducting material. Because super conductors conduct electricity with zero resistance, it repels the magnet making it float. The super conductor is usually a piece of YBa2Cu3O7 cooled to below 92 degrees kelvin. At this temperature, the substance changes state from a solid to a bose-einstein condensate and is a super conductor.

Can a magnetic field be both attractive and repulsive?
If you have any two magnets, you can always make them attract each otheror repel each other. It just depends on how you arrange them.Every magnet has two ends, with exactly opposite characteristics. If you hanga magnet up from a thread and wait until it settles down, one end points northand the other end points south.If you stick labels on the ends to identify them as the ' N ' end and the ' S ' end,then the ' N ' ends or the ' S ' ends of any two magnets always repel, but one' N ' end and one ' S ' end of two different magnets always attract.
