GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When two magnets are placed with their like poles facing each other, the lines of force are in opposite directions and hence like poles repel each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets don’t always stick together. If you hold two magnets the wrong way around, they push apart-they repel! In other words, if you hold two magnets together so that like-poles are close together (two norths OR two souths), they repel.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.
