GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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. When the unlike poles of a bar magnet face each other the magnetic lines of force are in the same direction and henceunlike poles attract each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
