OK- first, it is a compass. The needle of a compass is a magnet. It points to the Eath's Magnetic Poles- the two spots where the Earth's magnetic field comes out of the ground. In magnetism, opposites attract, likes repel.

What is the meaning of the science word repel?
To repel something is to keep it away. To attract something is to draw it towards oneself. "Repel" and "attract" are words usually used to describe magnetism. Magnets have two opposite ends, or "poles", called "north" and "south". When the north pole of one magnet gets close the north pole of another magnet, they repel each other. When the north pole of a magnet gets close to the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. Chuis attarct is when to magnets push together like the north and south magnet attract. repel is when to magnets pull apart from each other like the north pole and the north pole repel
What determines whether charges attract or repel?
If charges are alike, they repel. If charges are opposite, they attract.
Why do some electromagnets repel rather than attract?
SOME Electromagnet like permanent magnets have two poles(north/south). Likewise the rules for SOME Electromagnets are the same as those of a permanent magnet(same poles repel, different poles attract).
Which two particles would be attracted to each other?
The particles with similar charges with repel each other, This is commonly observed i n the magnetic poles where if one places the like poles that is two north poles or two south poles together it will repel reach other. This principle is very important to remember that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
Do North poles attract North poles?
We know that like magnetic poles repel and opposite magnetic poles attract. North will repel north and south will repel south. On the other hand, north and south attract each other.
What causes magnets to attract each other and repel each other?
Because of its magnetic field around a magnet North and South attract but North and North repel
What force causes magnets to attract or repel one another?
The electric force will repel as well as attract. A fundamental concept regarding electrostatics is that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. We can also see that the magnetic force can attract and repel in a similar way. It's no mystery that the electromagnetic force is considered oneforce by physicists. A magnetic north pole will repel another north pole, but will attract a magnetic south pole.
Magnetic poles that are alike?
No, there are two magnetic poles denoted by North (N) and South (S). N does not attract N, S does not attract S. N & S attract each other. Like pole repel.
Do a north and a north part of a magnet attract or repel?
Like polarities repel; unlike attract. So the north ends of two magnets repel each other, as do two south ends, while a north end and a south end mutually attract. North + North = Repell South + South = Repell North + South = Attract South + North = Attract
What is the term for the attraction or repulsium between the poles of magnets?
The magnetic fields between the north poles repel off each other
Do magnetic poles that are not like attract?
Yes, the north attracts south, and vice versa. Just as like poles repel.
Do magnetic poles that are different repel each other?
"Like" magnetic poles repel one another. "Unlike" poles attract one another. In other words, a North pole and a North pole would repel while a North pole and a South pole would be attracted.
Does the north magnetic pole repel the south magnetic pole?
No, two south poles will repel each other.
What are the characteristics of a magnetic flux?
all magnets have a north and south pole. opposite poles attract, like poles repel.
Do magnetic poles attract each other or repel each other or are they neutral to each other?
Magnetic poles act like charges, they attract(opposites) and repel (same).
Would two north poles attract each or push away from each other?
Two magnetic north poles (or two magnetic south poles) repel one another.
