Because magnetism relies on the movement of electrons, the negative forces in two south poles will never be attracted to each other In the same way, the
Many electromagnets also have an iron core to make the magnetic field screw loses most of its magnetic force, and the metallic items it attracted before
When the right kind of metal is inside the magnetic field, the magnet attracts it Permanent magnets always have a magnetic field Magnets on your refrigerator

A magnet has two poles, a north and a south pole • North poles attract south poles The electromagnet attracts the iron armature
Naturally occuring magnetite, one of iron oxides, showed magnetic properties and it was used to build a navigational device compass Compass is a small magnet
Until 1820, magnetism was not well understood Its only prac- tical use was in the compass Actually, the Earth behaves like a huge magnet Its magnetic South
Just like the permanent magnet, the electromagnet has a north and a south pole, and it attracts only objects made of iron or that have an iron content
For example, if you have two bar magnets with their ends marked "north" and "south," the north end of one magnet will attract the south end of the other

Magnets and electromagnets have the following unique properties:
Polarity
Magnets and electromagnets have areas on their ends (if bar or horseshoe magnets) or on their tops and bottoms (if ceramic, plastic, or donut" magnets) that are called poles. The magnetic pull or attraction is strongest at these poles. Every magnet has a
North Pole
and a South Pole.

Like poles repel each other.
If the North Pole of one magnet and the North Pole of another magnet are brought close to each other, they will move away from each other ; they will repel . The same thing happens if the South Pole of one magnet and the South Pole of another magnet are brought close to each other.
Unlike poles attract each other.
If the North Pole of one magnet and the South Pole of another magnet are brought close to each other, they will move toward each other ; they will attract.
Explore
Attraction
Magnets and electromagnets attract each other when unlike poles are near each other . Magnets attract certain types of metals, such as iron, nickeland steel. When iron nails or steel paper clips are held near a magnet, they will move toward, or be attracted to, the magnet.
Repulsion
Magnets and electromagnets can push each other apart if their like poles (North-North or South-South) are brought near each other.
Explore
Strength
The strength of a magnet or electromagnet is how strong of an attracting repelling force the magnet exerts on objects around it . The attractive strength of a magnet or electromagnet is greatest at its poles. Some magnets have a greater strength than other magnets. The strength of a magnet or electromagnet can be measured and compared by counting the number of objects, for example paper clips the magnet can pick up.
