GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away.

Detailed explanation-3: -Placing two unlike poles together causes them to attract. When you try to place two like poles together (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike poles of magnet attract each other while like poles repel. So, the south and the north pole of two magnets will attract each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -The density of the magnetic field lines is higher near the poles where the magnetic force is stronger. When two magnets are placed with their likepoles facing each other, the lines of force arein opposite directions and hence like poles repel each other.
