The end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
What is the North pole of one magnet will be attracted to what?
South pole of another magnet.
Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

Can steel can attract with south pole magnet?
Either pole of a magnet can attract steel.
How do you know which is the North face of the magnet?
To find the north pole of a magnet you can use a pole identifier. When the identifier is held to the magnet, you press a button and it will tell you if it is the north or south pole.

What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
What is the charge of a magnet's north pole?
We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.
What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
How do magnets connect?
( kingfurgill ) uhmm here's what I think: Ok, Theres magnet 1 and magnet 2, both have a south pole and a north pole. the south pole of magnet 1 connects to the north pole of magnet 2 and the north pole of magnet 1 connects to the south pole of magnet 2 ( that's what i learned at school today( ^_^ ) )
what poles are unlike a magnet?
North pole and South pole
Explain in brief the properties of magnet?
A magnet has both a South pole and a North pole. The magnetic properties of a magnet come from the alignment of electrons inside of the magnet. The North pole of a magnet will repel another North pole, but attract a South pole, and vice versa.
What is the North pole of one magnet will be attracted to what?
South pole of another magnet.

How do you identify the north and south pole of a magnet?
Use a compass. It's needle points to the south pole of a magnet.
Does every magnet necessarily have a north and a south pole?
Yes,every magnet has a north pole and a south pole.IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH POLES :If you have a magnet and you make a line exactly in the middle you will see that one side is the north pole and the other one is a south pole . You can even experiment this : when you are done drawing a line cut your magnet by that line . Do you think that you will have two magnets and one of them is south pole and the other one is the north pole . Well no !!!!!! You will have two magnets but both of them have south and north poles.Now:Remember , you know this magnets attach to each other .But north pole and an other north pole will never attach to each other.And the same thing goes for the south poles. Two south poles will never atach.Only two different poles will attach to each other ( north and south will attach, and south and north will attach to each other as well).ALL magnets have one north pole and one south pole.
