When a north pole is brought to a south pole does it repel or attract?

It doesn't work quite that way. Charged particles do notmove towards either the north or south pole, but rather in a direction perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of travel. The direction they move in is predicted by something called the right hand rule: if you hold out your open right hand in an L shape in such a way that a positive charge is moving in the direction pointed by your thumb and the magnetic field lines are in the direction pointed by your fingers, the charge will experience a force in the direction coming straight out of your palm.

∙ 9y agoAn electron is deflected to north because in north pole of magnet the magnetic lines are out of the field so that it posses positive charge and thats why an electron is deflecting north, a proton deflected toward south because in south pole of magnet magnetic line enter through this region so that it serves to be a negative end,such that proton is deflecting toward south pole.
Answer
Electrons will be deflected perpendicular to the magnetic field. The original answer confuses electric charge with magnetic polarity so is wrong.

∙ 13y agoYes, the north and south pole attract because they are opposites and if they weren't like north and north or south and south, then you will have to try hard to make them attract but they will not stay, unless you hold them together while struggling.

∙ 13y agoYes, the magnetic north pole of the earth attracts the north pole of a magnet. If it wouldn't be for confusing everybody who uses a compass to navigate, it ought to be renamed for consistency.
Comment">CommentNo! Renaming is absolutely unnecessary. It's all very simple. 'Magnetic North' is a location (or, more accurately, a direction) and has nothing to do with its magetic polarity. Since the north(-seeking) pole of a magnet points to Magnetic North, the magnetic polarity of this location is a south pole. Why do so many people find this confusing? Simple. Bad teaching!Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe north pole of a magnet will always attract the south pole of another magnet.

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.
Which ends repel on a magnet?
Two of the same, i.e., south and south repel or north and north. South and north attract.

A north pole will repel a south pole true or false?
False only a north and north would repel and south with south would repel Opposites attract
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
Attract vs repel on magnets?
North + North/South + South = RepelNorth + South/South + North = AttractA.An iron pipeB.An aluminum wire carrying currentE.An electromagnet
