Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole.
When turned on, yes they do. Even after turned off, some of the charge from the electricity involved will have slightly changed the material that is magnetized. The poles will be there, yet seldom very strong.
a pole
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.
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
North pole and South pole
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South 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.

The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.
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.
Suspend the magnet on a string at its CG, so it balances. The end that points north is its north pole.Alternative AnswerUse a compass. It will be attracted to the magnet's south pole.
Use a compass. It will point to a magnet's south pole.
A freely-suspended magnet will come to rest in a North- South direction -The pole which points to the north is the North Pole -The pole which points at south is the South Pole
( 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( ^_^ ) )
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
