How do magnets attract and don't attract?
Magnets attract when opposite poles (north and south) are brought near each other as the magnetic fields align in the same direction, creating a force of attraction. Magnets do not attract when like poles (north and north or south and south) are brought near each other, leading to repulsion as the magnetic fields align in opposite directions.
Why do magnets not always attract?
Magnets may not always attract if the opposite ends are not towards each other. For a magnet to work, the possitive end has to attract the negative end and visa versa. Failure of these ends meeting means the magnets will not work.
How are electrons kept in an atom?
a proton in at atom has a positive charge + and an electron has a negative charge - and they attract one another like magnets
How are water molecules like magnets?
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
An electric field begins on north poles and end on south poles?
That is not correct. Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges. In the case of a uniform electric field, the field lines run from the positive plate to the negative plate.
What is it called when molecules act like magnets with negative and positive ends?
Ionic.
Does energy flow positive to negative or negative to positive with magnets?
positive to a negative
Do positive and negative magnets attract or positive and positive or negative and negative?
polar opposites attract. that's where the phrase "opposites attract" comes from.AnswerThere are no such things as 'positive' or 'negative' magnets, other than in the minds of magnetic therapists who seem to have very little scientific knowledge of magnetism! Magnetic poles, not magnets, are named after the directions in which the point when freely suspended -i.e. north and south.
Why can magnets attract an object?
magnets have negative and positive charges
Why do batteries have a positive and negative side?
they do because like magnets we have negative and positive ,negative and negative repel and vise verse but positive and negative attract
How can you make two magnets repel each other?
EX: ++ and -- (positive positive and negative negative)
A magnet has both a positive side and a negative side. can you just have a magnet that is positive?
No, no matter what, magnets have poles. In other words, magnets will always have a positive and negative side. If you cut you magnet in half, those two new magnets will both have + and - sides. Do this infinity times until you have a magnet 1 atom thick. The atom will still have a positive and negative pole. Hope this helps.
When positive and negative charges what happens?
if you are using magnets, they stick together.
How are the ends of a magnet like a proton and an electron?
Hypothetically speaking, you could say the positive end is like a proton as they both sport positive charges and vice versa with the negative end and electrons. Also, as electrons create electromagnetic fields of their own, that can also be compared to magnets as magnets have magnetic fields.

How can you tell which is positive and which is negative on a battery?
Well the flat of the battery is the negative side.
