One important difference is that electric charges can be separated. A magnet ALWAYS has a north pole and a south pole, which you can't separate. If you cut a magnet in twain, you'll get two magnets, each with a north and a south pole. Some modern theories propose the possibility of magnetic monopoles, but so far, in practice, these have not been discovered.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other
What is the behavior of electric charges is similar to that of magnet poles?
Like charges repel each other while opposite charges attract each other.
What like magnet poles do?
Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.
In what way are magnetic poles very different from electric charges?
Magnetic poles are always found in pairs (North and South), unlike electric charges which can exist independently. Magnetic poles also do not exist as isolated charges, while electric charges can be found separately. Additionally, magnetic charges do not exist as distinct entities like electric charges.
How is the strength of two magnetic poles related to the force between them?
The rule for the interaction between the magnetic poles is similar to the interaction between the electrical charges in terms of the attraction and repulsion. In both cases the unlike poles attract while the like poles repel.
How the behavior of electric charges similar to that of magnetic poles?
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
Why do poles on a magnet attract and repel?
Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.
What is the region around a magnet where a force can be felt?
The region around a magnet where a force can be felt is known as the magnetic field. It extends outward from the magnet in all directions and is strongest close to the magnet's poles. Objects within the magnetic field will experience a force if they are magnetic or if they have moving electric charges.
What are the similarities of magnetic poles and electric charge?
Magnetic poles and electric charges both act the same as in:"opposites attract and same repel."Electric charge is the source of magnetic poles. The Magnetic pole is W=zq where z is the free space impedance 375 Ohms and q is the charge. W units is the Weber or volt-second.
What part of an electric motor repels the poles of the permanent magnet?
commutator
Does a magnet's poles all have the same charge?
No, a magnet's poles do not have the same charge. One pole is a north pole and the other pole is a south pole, resulting in opposite charges.
What is the nature of the force between electric charges and magnets, and is it attractive or repulsive?
The force between electric charges and magnets is known as electromagnetic force. It can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the charges and poles involved. Opposite charges and poles attract each other, while like charges and poles repel each other.
