Is it true that the attraction force is greater than the repulsive force in magnetic interactions? Due to the atomic structure of the materials in magnets? @experimentX

OpenStudy (experimentx):

what do you mean by repulsive and attractive interaction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When two magnets attract, and two magnets repel. Or when electromagnet attracts or repels a magnet, I think the attraction force in both systems in greater due to the atomics structure of the magnets. What do you think?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

shouldn't be ... they should be equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you "think" people assume they are not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, to me... I think there has to be a catch. When the reason is the "Atomic structure" I surrender and usually would agree because of my ignorance of the topic :P

OpenStudy (experimentx):

how do you think that attractive force should be repulsive than repulsive force?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whaaat?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought the attraction is > than repulsion.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

sorry ... forgive my typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ow its cool. But do you think they are equal? Generally the attraction and repulsion are always equal in any magnetic field interaction?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

i mean how do you think that they should be unequal due to atomic structure?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What about this explanation? http://www.supermagnete.de/eng/faq/repulsion

OpenStudy (experimentx):

sounds logical that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the attraction is stronger indeed, but slightly stronger. Some what... Unnoticeable?
