How to find positive on a magnet?

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.


Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?

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.

Where is the force of a magnet the strongest?

It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole.


If the north pole of the bar magnet suspends the first nail by attraction what is the nail's polarity?

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.


The ends of a magnet are called what?

Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?

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.


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.


How could you find the North Pole of magnet?

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.

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 would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?

South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
