What is the meaning of the science word repel?

To repel something is to keep it away. To attract something is to draw it towards oneself. "Repel" and "attract" are words usually used to describe magnetism. Magnets have two opposite ends, or "poles", called "north" and "south". When the north pole of one magnet gets close the north pole of another magnet, they repel each other. When the north pole of a magnet gets close to the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. Chuis attarct is when to magnets push together like the north and south magnet attract. repel is when to magnets pull apart from each other like the north pole and the north pole repel


Why do some electromagnets repel rather than attract?

SOME Electromagnet like permanent magnets have two poles(north/south). Likewise the rules for SOME Electromagnets are the same as those of a permanent magnet(same poles repel, different poles attract).


What determines whether charges attract or repel?

If charges are alike, they repel. If charges are opposite, they attract.


Do opposite charges attract each other?

If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.


Why do poles on a magnet attract and repel?

Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.

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.


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?
