How do fridge magnets work to stick to metal surfaces?

Fridge magnets work by using a magnetic force to stick to metal surfaces. The magnet has two poles, a north pole and a south pole. When the magnet comes into contact with a metal surface, the magnetic field of the magnet interacts with the metal, creating a force that holds the magnet in place. This force is strong enough to keep the magnet attached to the metal surface, allowing it to hold up papers or other lightweight objects.
