 OK, you have two magnets... |
Aaron Scott |
Let's give the magnetic pull/push of each a number....
One magnet has an attraction of 10. If the other magnet has a repulsion of 10, they would not connect (just go with me on this).
My question is this: If one magnet has, say, a 100 attraction, but the other has a 50 repulsion...will these magnets be held together as tightly as if the second magnet had a zero repulsion?
This is all important stuff--that will be used to construct a time machine. |

yes, xxx=E---M(CxC)
There is a much longer formula, but you get the same results, mass confusion due to covid19.99999.

| I'm pretty sure you just made up a "formula" (probably the key to time travel), but on the other hand, you might be being serious! |

The Little Fat Pig |
Your question is based on a misconception, that magnets possess an 'attraction' or a 'repulsion'. Magnets possess polarity. Opposite polarities attract each other. Similar polarities repel each other.
If the magnets are opposite poles, then neither of them has a 'repulsion'. They can only possess an attraction for each other.
If the magnets are similar poles, then neither of them has an 'attraction'. They can only possess a repulsion for each other.
It is impossible for one magnet to attract another while the second magnet is exerting any force of repulsion. Either both will attract or both will repel. To posit a scenario where Magnet 1 is the opposite polarity as Magnet 2 (thus making it attract) but where Magnet 2 has the same polarity as Magnet 1 (thus making it repel) is to deny one of the most fundamental principles of logic.
So, increasing the 'attraction' of the first magnet to 10 cannot overcome the 'repulsion' of the second magnet. Making the first magnet more powerful will only push a magnet of similar polarity away even more powerfully. This is the principle behind the operation of Maglev trains. |

As far as I know, if one side of a magnet repels a side of another magnet, that other magnet repels it too. As far as I know, one isn't going to pull the other if the other is pushing against it. Positive repels positive. |
