1. Attractive Force: This occurs when opposite poles of two magnets are facing each other (e.g., a north pole facing a south pole). The magnetic fields of the magnets align, creating a force that pulls the magnets together.
2. Repulsive Force: This occurs when like poles of two magnets are facing each other (e.g., two north poles or two south poles). The magnetic fields of the magnets oppose each other, creating a force that pushes the magnets apart.
Here's a simple way to remember:
* Opposites Attract: Different poles attract.
* Likes Repel: Same poles repel.
