I want to learn how magnets push or pull objects.

Magnets A magnet is an object that attracts iron or steel objects.
When objects attract, they pull toward each other. If an object and a magnet attract each other, the object is magnetic.

Most magnetic objects have a metal in them called iron.

Question
11
Do you remember what a force is?
12
Did you know that magnets act on each other!
14
All magnets have forces that act on other magnets.
The force between two magnets can either be a push or a pull. The poles are the places on a magnet where the forces are strongest. All magnets have 2 poles. A magnet does not have to touch an object to push or pull it.
15
On some magnets, the poles are labeled N for north pole and S for south pole.
2 unalike poles will attract each other. 2 like poles will repel. When a magnet repels, it pushes an object away from itself.
17
How do repel and attract compare?
