If they are both magnets, and they are the same poles facing each other (e.g. south repels south and north repels north).

What happens when like poles of two magnets are bought close?

If they come end-to-end, they will either attract or repel depending on the polarity.If you bring the sides together, they often will slide to bring their ends + & - ends together.

Will -40 and -81 attract repel or nothing?

You left out "the question cannot be answered because it is nonsense". -40 and -81 WHAT? The only sense in which the question makes ... sense, is if you're talking about electrical charges; there, -40 and -81 don't make a great deal of sense, but since they're both negative two objects with these charges would repel each other.

Would a iron bar repel to another iron bar?

If i get your question right, you're asking if an iron bar can just repel another iron bar; saying the distance between them would become bigger without doing anything. The answer is no. Iron bars would only repel each other if both have been given the same polarity. In example, if you make sure both bars are positive, they will repel. If both are negatively loaded, they will repel too. If one is positive and the other negative, however, they will attract each other. Hope i got your question right, and this helps you...

How does electricity make your hair stand up?

Your hair has picked up extra electrons. This causes your hair to repel against each other(Like charges repel remember!). Because you hair is so tightly packed, the furthest any hair can get from another hair is to stand straight up.


What happens when you place a proton next to another proton?

1) they will repel each other, just like any other two positively charged objects. 2) if close enough, they will attract each other due to the strong nuclear force. Two protons, however, are not a sufficiently combination to form a nucleus -- there must be at least one (preferably two) neutrons added to allow the two protons to stay close. Why is a neutron needed to make this combination stable? We're not sure.


Why do electron clouds repel?

Yes, electron clouds have a negative charge. The electrons make up electron clouds (naturally) and the electron carries a negative electrostatic charge. Since electrons carry a negative electrostatic charge, and, by a fundamental principle of electrostatics like charges repel each other, the electrons don't like each other. That's one of the guiding principles behind electron spin and the structure of electron orbitals in chemistry and biochemistry. The big fat positive charge on the nucleus captures the electrons, but the electrons have to decide amongst themselves how they're gonna get along out in the electron shells. And they do. Is it any wonder that electron shell structures rule most of chemistry?


Explain the saying opposites attract and alikes repel?

Let's pretend that we do not know about the law that opposite poles attract and alike poles repel. We experiment with two magnets. And we find that sometimes we can make the magnets repel, and sometimes we can make them attract. Magnets like every other Mass in the universe, are made of Atoms,, including you, and me.
