magnetic repulsion
Poles pushing apart
Magnetic repulsion is the force that pushes magnets apart when like poles face each other—north against north, south against south.
The same principle operates in electromagnets and explains why certain materials resist magnetic fields.
The magnetic repulsion between the train and track allows it to levitate.
