Magnets attract when opposite poles (north and south) are brought near each other as the magnetic fields align in the same direction, creating a force of attraction. Magnets do not attract when like poles (north and north or south and south) are brought near each other, leading to repulsion as the magnetic fields align in opposite directions.
