Key Idea
Every magnet has two distinct ends: a North pole and a South pole. The interaction between magnets is governed by the orientation of these poles.
The fundamental rule is: Opposites attract, and likes repel.

The fundamental rule is: Opposites attract, and likes repel.
Section 2
Predicting Interactions
Understanding pole orientation allows for the prediction of movement.
If a system requires a launching (pushing) force, the magnets must be arranged with like poles facing each other to create repulsion.
