Where do magnets get their energy to do work like attraction and repulsion?
DanfromBC
Permanent magnets have a magnetic field around them. This field is an "area" of force, and the force is derived directly from the uniform motion of a large number of electrons in the ferromagnetic material. Moving electrons generate a tiny magnetic field around their path of travel, and this is the basis of the magnetic force. The "blocks" of atoms that have uniformly moving electrons are called magnetic domains. The aligned domains allow an "over all" magnetic field to be detected and even used by an investigator. The field will interact with ferromagnetic material to attract it, or will, when moved "past" any conductor, induce a voltage in that conductor.
A pair of magnets will attract or repel, depending on how they are held or placed. The magnetic field of each one will interact with the field of the other, and the lines of force will push or pull, as suggested.

What type of energy repels magnets?
To create a permanent magnet energy must be supplied to suitable materiel by immersing it in a magnetic field normally supplied by an electromagnet
The attraction or repulsion that unlike or like charges have?
electric force
What is the magnetic force around a magnet?
The force between magnets is called magnetism. Magnets have two points which are the north-seeking pole and south-seeking pole where most of its strength is concentrated.
What happens if two magnetic poles are the same?
Repulsion. Magnets do not like to join like poles together, which is why a north and a south pole attract each other.
Will silver attract a magnet?
No..magnets are only attracted to ferrous (iron) materials.

The attraction or repulsion that unlike or like charges have?
electric force
Is a property of matter in which there is a force of attraction or repulsion between unlike or like poles?
Magnetism
What is the attraction between two like charged things?
There is no attraction between two like-charged things. Instead, repulsion between the things take place.
Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?
It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.
What is the law of forces for attraction and repulsion?
MagnestismThe Law of Attraction and Repulsion states that like charges repel each other, and unlike charges attract. For example, two positively charged objects would repel, whereas a positively charged object and a negatively charged object would attract.
What is the basic rule followed with regards to attraction and repulsion of poles of magnet?
Opposite poles attract, like poles repel. (same with electric charge)
Is there more forces other then gravity?
-- Gravity ... attraction between any two masses-- Magnetic force ... attraction or repulsion between a magnet and magnetic materials,or between conductors carrying electric current-- Electrostatic force ... attraction or repulsion between electric charges, like theballoon and the wall, the comb and the bits of tissue, the socks and the shirtsin the dryer, etc.-- Strong nuclear force ... attraction between particles in the nucleus of the atom;only works over very short distances ... like inside the nucleus of an atom.
What is the magnetic force around a magnet?
The force between magnets is called magnetism. Magnets have two points which are the north-seeking pole and south-seeking pole where most of its strength is concentrated.
What are the characteristic of magnetic attraction and repulsion?
That the effects obey the square of the distance "law".
What property of magnets enables maglev trains to move faster?
Repulsion of like poles. But the fact that allows (but does not guarantee) high speed is the lowered resistance of a vehicle that doesn't touch the ground.
What happens if two magnetic poles are the same?
Repulsion. Magnets do not like to join like poles together, which is why a north and a south pole attract each other.
