If you place a + charged side and a - charged side of a magnet together - they will attract.

The theory behind this is that sides of polar opposites (meaning north and south) will form an attraction with their protons and electrons to form a bond. Polar similarities contain a balance and will therefore repel the forces of the other magnet to maintain their equilibrium.
