The 2 SOUTH poles are touching? then why would they be attracted? North and south would be attracted to each other but not south to south

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

What we can conclude, is that since these 2 poles are naturally repulsive to each other, work would be needed in order to bring them closer to each other

awork by an outside force?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Indeed...for example...YOU! you would have to do work in order to bring the 2 south poles of 2 magnets together, so you would be the outside force in that case
