You place the magnet under a piece of paper, and then sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. The iron filings will line up along the magnetic lines of force, which will show very clearly where the magnetic poles are.

How can we determine the poles of an odd shaped magnet?
You can hang the magnet up on a string, so that it can rotate freely. In that case, it should align with the Earth's magnetic field.
If you were given a magnet with unmarked poles how could you determine which pole was which?
You could use another magnet with marked poles to determine the poles of the unmarked magnet. By observing how the unmarked magnet interacts with the marked magnet, you can identify the north and south poles of the unmarked magnet based on attraction and repulsion.

How can you determine the poles of an UN marked magnet?
To determine the poles of an unmarked magnet, you can use a known magnet or a compass. Bring the compass close to the magnet; the compass needle will point towards the magnet's south pole, as it is attracted to the north pole of the compass. Alternatively, you can use another magnet: the north pole of the second magnet will be attracted to the south pole of the unmarked magnet and repelled by its north pole. This interaction can help you identify the poles of the unmarked magnet.
How can we find poles of an odd shaped magnet?
To find the poles of an oddly shaped magnet, you can use a small compass. Move the compass around the magnet; the needle will point toward the magnetic north pole of the magnet, which is its south pole, while the opposite end of the compass needle indicates the magnet's north pole. Additionally, you can sprinkle iron filings around the magnet; they will align along the magnetic field lines, revealing the poles' locations.
Why does a mineral magnet stick to a magnet?
a mineral magnet can stick to a magnet because a mineral magnet has to poles the north and the south poles
What do we call a the ends of a magnet?
poles
A magnet has how many poles?
A magnet has two poles which are known as north and south poles.
How many poles of a bar magnet are there and where are these poles located?
Answer. Two properties of a magnet are: (i) A magnet always has two poles: north pole and south pole.
How do you determine the poles of a button magnet?
The poles of a button magnet can be determined by using a compass. Place the compass near the magnet and observe which end of the compass needle points towards the magnet. The end pointing towards the magnet's north pole indicates the south pole of the magnet, and vice versa.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
What is the minimum and maximum number of poles a magnet can have?
A magnet can have a minimum of 2 poles (north and south poles) and a maximum of an infinite number of poles if the magnet is divided into smaller and smaller sections.
