GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two poles in a magnet South pole and a North pole. The line of forces emerging from the north pole is always opposite to the one arising from the south pole and vice versa. More items

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. We say the magnets repel each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
