* Magnetic Poles: Magnets have two poles: north and south. Opposite poles attract, while like poles repel.
* Force Strength: The strength of the repulsive force depends on several factors:
* Strength of the magnets: Stronger magnets exert a greater repulsive force.
* Distance: The repulsive force decreases rapidly as the magnets are moved further apart.
* Orientation: The angle between the magnets affects the force.
Key Point: There isn't a single repulsive force. The repulsion is a result of the interaction between the magnetic fields of the two magnets. Think of it as a continuous field pushing against another field.
