The electron spin of the atoms in a magnet are fairly well aligned and therefore the ELECTROMAGNETIC force attracts material with oppositely aligned electron spins. Strong magnets have better alignment than weak ones.

∙ 13y agoIn many materials like iron and steel, there are many discrete (separate) regions that are called magnetic domains. In each of these domains, the atoms that make up the magnet are aligned in such a way that the tiny magnetic fields produced by the atoms line up and combine to make a larger field.
If the magnetic fields produced by lots of these magnetic domains are pointing in roughly the same direction, the material has an overall magnetic field and is known as a magnet. The side of the magnet that the magnetic field is pointing towards is called the north pole, and the opposite side is called the south pole.
When two magnets come near each other, the magnetic field of each magnetic will exert a small force on each of the domains in the other magnet. If the magnetic fields align, the magnets will be pulled together. If the magnetic fields are pointing in opposite directions, the magnets will be pushed apart. Remember that if the fields are pointing the same direction, the north pole of one magnet will be facing the south pole of the other. In this way, opposites attract and likes repel.

∙ 12y agoThey don't "stick", any more than a person "sticks" to the Earth. In both cases ...
gravity and magnetism ... there is a pair of mutual forces, one on each object,
attracting it to the other object. If you simply apply force in the oppposite direction,
and your force is any amount greater than the attractive force, the objects will separate.

What is a catchy science fair title about magnets?
Lets stick toghether
How are magnets used in child's toys?
You put them in the toy for the child to stick the toy to metal objects... magnets are the same no matter what you put them in, even avocados.
How does water stick together so well?
The property of surface tension causes water to occupy the least possible surface area, or to put it simply, "stick together".
How do magnets stick to iron shavings?
The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.

What is it called when magnets stick together?

Does two magnets underwater stick together?
Of course
What do magnets have in common with each other?

How can you stick 2 magnets?
You get one magnet and put it to another and then they are together like magnets... no need to thank me for the answer.
When positive and negative charges what happens?
if you are using magnets, they stick together.
How are magnets like relationships?
they either stick together or they repell eachother.
What happens when two different poles of magnets are brought together?
The two magnets will pull together.They Stick togetherattract
What causes the particles to the atom to stay together?
Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.
What causes of the particles of the atom stay together?
Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.
Why do magnets stick?
Magnets stick together when you have two different poles next to each other. The North end and the South end attract, whereas two of the same poles repel. It is a magnetic force or pull that makes them stick together.
Why don't fridge magnets stick to each other?
The reason why they don't stick together is because magnets have a positive and negative charge. if you put a positive charge side together with another positive side it won't stick because they are the same charge. if they are opposites they will stick.
