Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole.

But the magnet will be weaker.

How do similar and opposite sides of a magnet interact with other magnets?

Opposite ends (one north pole, one south pole) attract one another; equal ends (two north poles; or two south poles) repel one another.


What do people mean by the north and south poles of a magnet witch poles repel each other and witch poles attract each other?

Magnets have two opposite sides, called "north" and "south". The same sides, for example north and north, of different magnets repel each other, while opposite sides (north vs. south) attract each other.


What happens when both ends of a magnet meet?

When both ends of a magnet meet, like poles will repel each other and opposite poles will attract each other. If they are aligned in the same direction, the magnets will stick together due to magnetic attraction. If they are aligned in opposite directions, the magnets will push away from each other due to magnetic repulsion.


What happens if two magnetic poles are the same?

If two magnetic poles are the same (North-North or South-South), they will repel each other due to their like magnetic properties. This is governed by the basic principle of magnetism that opposite poles attract and like poles repel.


How do the two ends of a magnet affect attraction and replusion?

The magnet only attracts magnetic materials like iron and tin.The two eds are called poles,one is the north pole and the other one is the south pole.The pole is an end of a magnet that has the highest attraction.The pole will attract things only which behaves like the opposite pole and would repel the like poles.

Which ends repel on a magnet?

Two of the same, i.e., south and south repel or north and north. South and north attract.


What is the end of a manget called?

The ends of a magnet are called "poles." There are two types of poles: the north pole and the south pole. These poles are where the magnetic force is strongest, and they are responsible for the magnet's ability to attract or repel other magnetic materials. Opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel.


What is a pole on a magnet?

The poles of a magnet are the ends of the core of the magnet, where the lines of force emerge. An experiment with iron filings shows the lines of force, by putting a sheet of paper over the magnet and sprinkling fine iron filings. This is an easy thing to do at home. For a bar magnet the poles will be at opposite ends. If you have two such magnets you can experiment and find that like poles repel, opposite poles attract.

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


What happens when both ends of a magnet meet?

When both ends of a magnet meet, like poles will repel each other and opposite poles will attract each other. If they are aligned in the same direction, the magnets will stick together due to magnetic attraction. If they are aligned in opposite directions, the magnets will push away from each other due to magnetic repulsion.

Can you place a magnet over another magnet?

yes if you place one set of ends together they will repel and if you do it the other way they will attract it really cool to feel the magnetic pulll of the magnets


Why do magnets repel and attract?

Magnets have a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north, south and south) repel each other. This is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnets.
