Key Concepts

Magnetic Poles

In magnetism, every magnet has two distinct poles, commonly referred to as the North and South poles. These are the regions where the magnetic forces are most pronounced and fundamentally define the behavior of magnets in interactions with other magnets or magnetic materials.

Attraction and Repulsion

The rule governing magnetic interactions is that opposite poles attract one another while like poles repel each other. This means a North pole will attract a South pole, and similarly, a South pole will attract a North pole, whereas two North poles or two South poles will produce a repulsive force between them.
