Hi, I posted this earlier in what I thought to be the "General Physics" section, but since it got deleted and I was notified that I posted in "GD" which is (general discussion?) I realized I did this by mistake so I am sorry.

to my question
Hi,
What I learned:
A magnet levitates and gets kind of "fixed" on a superconductor. Also the superconductor can shield two magnets on either sides(so the 2 magnets can't see each other). Both magnets HOWEVER get repelled by the superconductor.
I have been searching and googling for weeks to find an answer concerning the nature of this "repelling force of the superconductor":
Is the repelling force between superconductor & magnet, of the same magnitude and strength as if we were to replace the superconductor with a second identical magnet and facing them north-north ??
I am really confused and I am having a huge headache from sleepless nights of searching and thinking. Your help would be more than great
