Why do magnets repel and attract?

Magnets have a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north, south and south) repel each other. This is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnets.


What are the two main properties of magnets?

Magnets have two poles north and south. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.


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.


What would happen if you put the north and the south poles of two magnets together?

If you put the north and south poles of two magnets together, they would attract each other and stick together. Conversely, if you put two like poles (north-north or south-south) together, they would repel each other and push away.


What would happen if magnet faced same pole?

If one magnet's North Pole faced another magnet's North Pole, the magnets would repel eachother, meaning they would push away from eachother. If you put a North and a South pole together, however, they would attract, or come together. N+N= Repel S+S= Repel N+S= Attract S+N= Attract Well. I guess opposites really DO attract...

How can you use the field lines to determine whether magnets will attract or repel each other?

You can use the direction of the magnetic field lines to determine if magnets will attract or repel each other. If the field lines are pointing in the same direction between two magnets, they will repel each other. If the field lines are pointing in opposite directions, the magnets will attract each other.

Will real magnets attract or repel electromagnets?

Electromagnets are just as "real" as permanent magnets and behave in exactly the same way (as long as there's current flowing through them). So, yes: the north pole of a permanent magnet will attract the south pole, and repel the north pole, of an electromagnet.


Do magnets attract and repell in outer space?

Yes! It should. Since the magnets, irrespective of external magnetic fields, have their own magnetic field. Vacuum or Air pressure, quality, etc also don't effect the magnetic fields of magnets. Hence, depending on Negative or Positive side of the magnets, when brought together, it will attract or repel accordingly!!


What can magnets do to attract and repel objects?

Magnets can attract objects by pulling them towards each other, and repel objects by pushing them away. This is due to the magnetic field produced by the magnet interacting with the magnetic properties of the objects.


What is the word for magnets not sticking?

The word for magnets not sticking is "nonmagnetic." Materials that are nonmagnetic do not attract or repel magnets and are not influenced by magnetic fields.
