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.

Do a steel nail and a magnet stick together?

A steel nail and a magnet can stick together because steel is a ferromagnetic material. This means that it can be magnetized and will be attracted to a magnet. When a magnet is brought close to a steel nail, the magnetic field can cause the nail to become magnetized, leading to attraction. However, if the nail is not magnetized or if the magnet is too weak, they may not stick together.
