This is because there's proton and electron. When a magnet is created, two electrically charged portions are created. In which electron is present in one side and proton is present in the other side. Therefore, when you put two like poles together they repel each other just like trying to when you want to fuse two proton together or fuse two electron together whereas they attract each other when you put the unlike pole together because proton attract electron. Neutron is believed to be with the proton in the magnet. :) Hope this help

The original answer is incorrect as it is describing the attraction and repulsion between ELECTRIC charges, NOT magnetic poles! The simple answer is that there is no easily-explainable reason because, to understand it, we need to know about quantum mechanics.

What happens when opposite poles of a magnet are placed near each other?
Positive and negative attract, or goes together. Positive and positive or Negative and Negative repell, or push away from one anothe
What will happen if a North Pole of bar magnet near the North Pole of suspended magnet?
In magnetism, two like poles will repel each other. Remember that opposites attract.
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.
What do opposite poles of magnets do?
Opposite poles attract one another. Poles of the same charge repel each other.
Why does the north and south magnet attract each other?
offcourse south pole of a magnet attracts north pole,its the law of poles.But when south pole of a strong magnet is brought near south pole of o weak magnet because strongsouth pole induces weak south pole to do so.
Does the same pole on different magnet attract each other?
Nope they must be opposite poles
Do opposite poles attract on magnet?
Yes. The "north pole" of one magnet will attract the "south pole" of another. Opposite charges attract, likecharges repel.
Why does north magnet and north magnet don't stick together?
Equal poles repel. Opposite poles attract.
Why are the north pole of a magnet attract Norths and south of a magnet attract souths on earth?
You have the situation reversed. Like poles repel, opposite poles attrect
Why do opposite magnetic poles attract?
A magnetic field is created when the atoms of a magnet line to the north or south pole of the magnet. When two opposite poles face each other, the fields, and the atoms inside the magnet, line up, and this causes the attraction between the poles.
When do magnets attract?
Magnets attract when the south side of a magnet is facing towards the north side of another magnet. If the sides are both north or south the magnet will then repel. ( Opposites attract and Likes repel )
Why do unlike poles on a magnet attract each other?
Opposite poles, also known as unlike poles, on a magnet attract each other because the excess number of electrons on the positive side will try to replace the ones missing on the negative side. This peculiar characteristic is what is known as magnetism.
Is there a magnet only attract magnets?
all magnets attract ferrous metals (metals containing iron) and the opposite poles of another magnet.
What happens when the opposite poles of the magnet are near each other?
Like poles attract. Unlike poles repel. So north and south will attract towards each other, while north and north (and south to south) will repel.
What happens when opposite poles of a magnet are placed near each other?
Positive and negative attract, or goes together. Positive and positive or Negative and Negative repell, or push away from one anothe
What is the behavior of electric charges is similar to that of magnet poles?
Like charges repel each other while opposite charges attract each other.
What will happen if a North Pole of bar magnet near the North Pole of suspended magnet?
In magnetism, two like poles will repel each other. Remember that opposites attract.
