Magnetism is the force with which objects are attracted or repelled to one another. Usually these objects are metals such as iron.

Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or suspended the magnet lines up in a north - south direction. When the north pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of another magnet, the poles are repelled. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one another.

The attraction repelling of two magnets towards one another depends on how close they are to each other and how strong the magnetic force is within the magnet. The further apart of the magnets are the less they are attracted or repelled to one another.

Are electricity and magnetisum are same things?

No, electricity and magnetism are not the same things. Electricity refers to the flow of charged particles through a conductor, while magnetism is a force that arises from the movement of charged particles and is characterized by the attraction or repulsion between objects. However, they are closely related through electromagnetism, which describes their interaction.

What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?

The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.
