  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    If the magnet is aligned with the magnetic field, corresponding to two magnets oriented in the same direction near the poles, then it will be drawn into the larger magnetic field. If it is oppositely aligned, such as the case of two magnets with like poles facing each other, then the magnet will be repelled from the region of higher magnetic field.

  3. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    If two magnets are mechanically constrained along a single axis, for example, and arranged to repel each other strongly, this will act to levitate one of the magnets above the other. Another geometry is where the magnets are attracted, but prevented from touching by a tensile member, such as a string or cable.

  4. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other.Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism.

  5. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    The magnitude of the electrostatic force F between two point charges q 1 and q 2 is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other.

  6. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The magnetic pole model: two opposing poles, North (+) and South (−), separated by a distance d produce a H-field (lines). Historically, early physics textbooks would model the force and torques between two magnets as due to magnetic poles repelling or attracting each other in the same manner as the Coulomb force between electric charges. At ...

  9. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    The magnet does not have distinct north or south particles on opposing sides. If a bar magnet is broken into two pieces, in an attempt to separate the north and south poles, the result will be two bar magnets, each of which has both a north and south pole. However, a version of the magnetic-pole approach is used by professional magneticians to ...
