Detailed explanation-1: -The magnetic force acting between magnets decreases as the distance between them increases. Magnetic fields add where they overlap.
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: -Magnets can attract or repel if side by side If opposite poles are next to one another, magnets will attract while positioned side-by-side. If like poles are next to one another, magnets can repel while side-by-side. Generally, the force you see in these side-by-side cases is lower than the pole-to-pole forces.
