What happens when you bring the north pole of a magnet close to the south pole of a magnet?

When two magnets are brought together, the opposite poles will attract one another, but the like poles will repel one another. This is similar to electric charges. Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.

they're attracting all the time.

If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?
If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.
When the north pole of one magnet is placed next to the north pole of another magnet what happens?
The two poles- the north and the north- repel each other.
If you cut off the north pole of a magnet what happens to the remaining part?
it becomes a magnet in it s own right with north and south poles
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
the bar magnet will become stable whereever it is suspended on the north pole as north pole=earth's magnetic south pole
What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?
Nothing happens to properties because if it broken it still has north pole and south pole. Even if magnet broke into smallest piece it would still have same property.
Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?
That depends on which pole of the magnet it is moved close to. If it is brought close to the "South" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be attracted to the magnet. If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
What happens if you bring the north end of one magnet naer the south end of another magnet?
The two magnets would be attracted and come together.Unlike poles will attract.Like poles will repel.

What happens when a magnet is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
Get attracted and stick on together
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
the bar magnet will become stable whereever it is suspended on the north pole as north pole=earth's magnetic south pole
Is there a place where the compass doesn't point to north?
A compass will never stop pointing north unless it is close to a magnet.
What happens inside a permanent magnet?
in magnet their is dipole movement in one direction that's why it prodused north pole& south pole
With out labels how can you find out which pole of a magnt is north?
Bring a compass in the vicinity of your magnet Put it on a float in water
Why won't a compass work near a magnet?
The compass needle is itself a magnet which is why it always points north according to the earth's magnetic field. If you place a magnet (Whose magnetic power is stronger than the earth's) close to the compass its needle will be attracted t the magnet and not to the North Pole.
