Uitleg
A magnet is similar to a bipolar-charged system in that it has two distinct poles: a north pole and a south pole. Like a bipolar-charged system, which has positive and negative charges, a magnet exhibits opposite magnetic forces. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another magnet, while like poles repel each other.
