Q1: When do magnets push one another apart?

[Answer]

If you bring the ends of two bar magnets close to each other, some very strange things start to happen.

Before the magnets touch you will feel either a strong pull or a strong push.

The magnets may have N and S marked on them or one end might be painted red. The red end is the same as N.
