Detailed explanation-1: -That is, they are forced together (this is called attraction). If two magnets are pointing with like-poles together (a south pole to a south pole OR north to north), then stored-up energy will decrease if they move apart.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is called attraction. If you line the magnets up so that two of the same poles face each other, the magnets will push away. This is called repulsion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnetism is the power to attract. It refers to the attraction to iron and other metals in electric currents and magnets, or to the other kind of attraction-where people want to be close to each other. Different kinds of magnetism cause some magnets to attract, while others repel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnets can also attract each other, but only if they face in opposite directions. 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-5: -All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other.
