attract
alike magnetic poles do not attract because according to the law of magnetism, it is stated that unlike magnetic poles attract and alike poles repel.
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike poles attract.
We know that like magnetic poles repel and opposite magnetic poles attract. North will repel north and south will repel south. On the other hand, north and south attract each other.
PARANTHESIS
"Like" magnetic poles repel one another. "Unlike" poles attract one another. In other words, a North pole and a North pole would repel while a North pole and a South pole would be attracted.
Magnetic poles act like charges, they attract(opposites) and repel (same).
like poles attract unlike poles repel
Same poles attract where as opposite poles repel. N-N= repel N-S=attract S-N=attract S-S=repel
That the effects obey the square of the distance "law".
Yes, the north attracts south, and vice versa. Just as like poles repel.
Like polarities repel; unlike attract. So the north ends of two magnets repel each other, as do two south ends, while a north end and a south end mutually attract. North + North = Repell South + South = Repell North + South = Attract South + North = Attract
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
