magnets are attracted when easy of the different sides, most commonly known as “north” and “south”, are facing eachother. They repel when north and north, or south and south are facing eachother.

hope this helps! :)

when South and North poles are placed together they attract as they are opposite poles. In magnets opposite poles are attracted and like poles are repelled.
