Detailed explanation-1: -In magnets like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. So when placing the north pole of two magnets close together they will repel.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Opposite poles attract each other, but similar poles repel.
Detailed explanation-3: -When opposite poles of the magnets approach, they attract each other. Any north-south combination will pull them together. But when two like poles come together, they push each other apart. Two north poles will not stick together.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -If you try to put two magnets together with the same poles pointing towards one another, the magnets will push away from each other. We say they repel each other. If you put two magnets together with different poles pointing towards one another, the magnets will pull towards each other.
