No. A magnet with one pole is not a magnet. If you cut a bar magnet in half, both of the newly exposed ends would be north and south respectively (if you did not demagnetise the magnet in the process). The magnetic circuit must be completed, one way or another, always. Try the experiment of placing a magnet under a sheet of paper and then sprinkling iron filings onto the paper. The iron filings will always take on the shape of the magnets magnetic field, the lines of force. It does not matter what you do to the magnet, you will never get rid of one of the poles. Then there is the argument about the theoretical spherical magnet - where are the poles?
No because then it isn't a magnet and other materials might not stick to the north pole of the magnet

∙ 14y agoIf you ever had an object (which would probably be a sub-atomic particle) that had only one magnetic pole (whether north or south) that would be called a magnetic monopole, and there is no reason that we know of why such an object could not exist, yet none has ever been observed to date. Scientists are still looking.

∙ 9y agoIt is not at all possible to have isolated pole. When north pole is there then automatically south pole would be there. North and South cannot be separated. This is somehow different from the electric charges. Isolated positive/negative charge is possible.

∙ 15y agoNo, they always comes in pair. If you cut a magnet in halve you'll get two magnets with one south pole and one north pole on each.

Around magnets where is the field the strongest where is it the weakest?
In a magnetic field, where is the magnet strongest, and where is it weakest? Answer: Strongest: The strongest field around magnets are at it's two poles. Weakest: The weakest field around magnets are at it's center.
Which location is the magnetic field the strongest?
A magnetic field is generally strongest (most concentrated) at a pole. Note that, while familiar magnets have two poles, it is also possible for a magnet to have more than two. Whether a magnet could have only pole is controversial. The Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the north and south magnetic poles, which are near the north and south geographic poles. The magnetic poles move over time and are generally not located precisely at the geographic poles.
Where is the magnetic force the greatest on a magnet?
The magnetic force of a magnet is strongest at its poles. This is because the field lines of the magnetic field are most concentrated at the poles where they enter and leave the magnet. At the poles the magnetic field is strongest and the force is the greatest. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet. The south pole is where the magnetic field lines leave the magnet. The magnetic field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The magnetic force is greatest at the poles.
What is the term for the attraction or repulsion between the poles of the magnets?
magnetic force
What does the lack of a magnetic field on Mars indicate about its internal composition?
There are two main types of magnets: Permanent magnets and electromagnets. Permanent magnets are always magnetized. Electromagnets are magnetized due to electricity and can be turned on and off.All magnets have two poles: A south pole and a north pole. Opposite poles attract. Like poles repel.Earth's magnetic poles do not line up with the geographic poles. The magnetic poles wander around the globe a little every year.Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field called the magnetosphere. This deflects charged particles, trapping them in the Van Allen Belt, and creating the auroras with others.Earth's magnetic poles reverse direction. This last happened 700,000 years ago. Over the last 10 million years, it has happened about every 250,000 years.Earth's magnetic pole reversals are recorded in rocks in the ocean floor. The magnetic orientation is frozen when the rock cools; as the rocks slowly move away from ocean ridges, magnetic striping is created. This is a key piece of evidence for plate tectonics.The Dynamo theory states that Earth's magnetic field is due to the circulation of iron in the outer core. Movement of conductive materials can create electromagnetism
Do magnets have poles?
Yes. A north and south pole to correspond with the earth's magnetic field.
Around magnets where is the field the strongest where is it the weakest?
In a magnetic field, where is the magnet strongest, and where is it weakest? Answer: Strongest: The strongest field around magnets are at it's two poles. Weakest: The weakest field around magnets are at it's center.
Where is a magnets pull the strongest?
The north and south poles.
What occurs to the magnetic field lines when the magnets have opposite poles facing each other?
The field lines are parallel and create an attractive force field.
Which location is the magnetic field the strongest?

Whether a magnet could have only pole is controversial. The Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the north and south magnetic poles, which are near the north and south geographic poles. The magnetic poles move over time and are generally not located precisely at the geographic poles.
Do electromagents have poles?
yes, they have north and south poles like permanent magnets the advantages of electromagnets are we can interchange the poles by changing the direction of current and intensity of the magnetic field (flux)can be controlled.
Do bar magnets have south and north poles?
Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
What is the properties of magnets?
Any magnet will always align itself to north south direction of earths magnetic field. Magnetic needle will always be perpendicular to the direction of current. Stronger magnets attracts weak magnets towards itself if the weak magnet is placed in stronger magnets magnetic field.
How magnets can attract ferromagnetic materials?
Put it in thepresenceof a strong magnetic field
How do F'in magnets work?
Do magnets offend you? Magnetism is a product of the electromagnetic force defined by Coulomb's Law. Opposite magnetic poles attract, same magnetic poles repel.
Where is the magnetic force the greatest on a magnet?
The magnetic force of a magnet is strongest at its poles. This is because the field lines of the magnetic field are most concentrated at the poles where they enter and leave the magnet. At the poles the magnetic field is strongest and the force is the greatest. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet. The south pole is where the magnetic field lines leave the magnet. The magnetic field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The magnetic force is greatest at the poles.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
