north pole and south pole attract + south pole and north pole attract because opposites attract. two magnets repel each other when the same poles are pulling together. for example, north pole + north pole repel because they are the same.

∙ 9y agoSome metals are Ferrous, which means they contain iron. Others are Non-Ferrous, which means they don't contain iron.
Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the three metals that react with a magnet. This means that any metal containing them is potentially magnetic, and ones that don't contain any them are not. If the item contains other metals the concentration of magnetic metal must be high enough for it to respond; for example a US 5¢ coin is called a "nickel" but isn't attracted to a magnet. It actually contains only 25% nickel while the rest is copper.
Magnets pick up iron, and if the object isn't iron or a magnetic metal then it is most likely that it won't be attracted to the magnet and it also depends on the strength and isze of the magnet.

∙ 11y agoit doesn't attract all of them because it depends on the magnet. It also depends on the size. The answer is it has to be the same exact magnet to attract all of them.
