Best Answer

Opposite poles attract (so they stick together.) Similar poles (N&N, or S&S.) don't stick together. They push away from each other.

How would the magnets react if 2 south poles were put together?

They would repel each other


Do magnets attract all objects?

No. Magnets can pull other magnets towards them, or push them away from them. If a magnet's north pole points towards another magnets north pole (or a south pole towards a south pole), they will repel, instead of pulling them towards them. On the other hand, if a magnet is brought near a piece of iron that is not already magnetic, it will induce magnetism in the iron, in such a way that the two magnets will attract one another. Yet on the other hand, magnets have hardly any influence on most substances.


Do magnets repel nonmagnetic materials?

Magnets attract magnetic materials such as iron. Magnets either attract or repel other magnets depending on the polarity. Magnets repel diamagnetic materials. Most diamagnetic materials (bismuth, diamond, graphite, silver) are only weakly repelled. Super conductors are strongly diamagnetic, and are more strongly repelled.


Where are molecules of chlorine brought together with ozone at the poles?

The molecules of chlorine are brought by CFC's. They are harmful chemicals with react with ozone to deplete it.


Why is iron magnetic and other metals like platinum or vanadium not magnetic?

To understand this we need to understand the magnetic properties of material. There are 3:-Ferromagnetic.Paramagnetic.Diamagnetic.Ferromagnetic substances which are easily attracted to magnets. Paramagnetic substances are those which are weakly attracted to magnets. Diamagnetic substances are not attracted to magnets. So Palladium falls in the third category while iron is ferromagnetic.

How does electrical energy to mechanical energy take place in an electric motor?

The electricity is run through a coil of wire. This turns it into a magnet. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel. By arranging the coils on a rotating shaft, it can be made to pull the shaft around as it alternately gets attracted and repelled by magnets around the outside. Motors vary in construction, depending on voltage and use. Some have permanent magnets, with which to react with the coils. Others have no permanent magnets, but other separate coils, which have current running through them. The short answer is 'magnetism'.


How do like and unlike charges react?

LIKE charges REPEL UNLIKE charges ATTRACT. NB Think of a pair of magnets. . If the two north or south poles are placed together , they repel . However, if a north pole and a south pole are placed together , they attract. In Chemistry ions of opposite charge attract . e.g. Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)

What happens when you put the n pole of the magnet close to the s pole of another magnet?

Well, according to the superconductivital forces of quantum neutrinos in the brane field of M-theory, a cataclysmic extrapulation will occurr inside the magnetic singularity. Thus, we calculated (myself and my team) that the state of the frictive forces upon the two pieces of matter and antimatter within an infinitum of gravitational pulling, the monopolicular entities will create a mass fluxuation in the forces of superconductivity. In other words, they get pushed apart...DUH!
