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...
If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.
If a bar magnet is cut in half along the center line, each resulting piece would become its own magnet with its own set of north and south poles. The magnetic field around each piece would be similar to that of a single bar magnet.
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.

The end of a magnet that points towards the Earth's Geographic North Pole is labeled as the North Pole of the magnet, while the end that points towards the South Pole is labeled as the South Pole of the magnet.
opposites attract so they would pull together
I don't see any sketch. But if you break a magnet in two, each part will be a magnet with its own north and south pole.
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
One Contributors OpinionIn 2012 the next polar reversal will take place on earth. This means that the North Pole will be changed into the South Pole. Scientifically this can only be explained by the fact that the earth will start rotating in the opposite direction, together with a huge disaster of unknown proportions.
of course it would be rejected
magnetic compass will stop working.

If they are the same, they repel, if different, they attract.
To attract the south pole of a bar magnet, you would need to place it near the north pole of another magnet or in close proximity to the bar magnet's north pole. Since opposite poles attract, positioning the south pole of the bar magnet toward the north pole of the magnet shown will result in a pull toward the magnet. This attraction occurs because magnetic fields interact in such a way that opposite poles draw closer together.
i think the middle
