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. When the unlike poles of a bar magnet face each other the magnetic lines of force are in the same direction and hence unlike poles attract each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -When will magnets attract or repel each other? The rule to remember is that opposites attract. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Like poles of two magnets experience an attractive magnetic force, pulling them towards each other. Opposite poles of two magnets experience a repulsive magnetic force, pushing them away from each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two poles of the magnet are the north and south poles. The poles of a magnet are its ends. The pole at the beginning or end is called the North Pole and the other is called the South Pole.
