It has 2 poles. They are the North and South Poles.

∙ 14y agoA bar mgnet always has exactly two magnetic poles. If you cut a bar magnet in half, each half will have two poles.

∙ 14y ago2, just like all known magnets: a north and a south pole.
(Theory exists concering magnetic monopoles but their observation has been doubted).

What direction does the needle on a compass point when a horseshoe magnet is put beside it?
The direction of the needle will remain unchanged. This is due to magnetic forces, the needle will remain in line with the lines of magnetic force which flow between the north and south poles.
How do you find the poles of a horseshoe magnet?
If there is a repulsion between A and N then A is North pole and B is South pole of the horse shoe magnet. If B and N repel each other the B is north and A is south of the horse shoe magnet.
Why horseshoe magnet be stored with bar of soft iron across the poles?
the tiny magnets or domain at end of magnets are not perfectly align and if we keep it the magnetic strength gets weaker and weaker so by attaching bar of soft iron opposite poles induces on it and this will keep the tiny magnets at the end align.
What is Difference of bar and horceshoe magnet?
A horseshoe magnet is curved.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
What happens when a switch is closed in an electrical circuit the wire between the poles of the horseshoe magnet deflects upward you can conclude that the left of the magnet is?
no
Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
What is a U shaped magnet called?
Magnets don't have to be that shape, but it is sometimes a convenient shape, when using it to attract a piece of magnetic material. Magnets can be straight bars, or cubes, or various other shapes.
Are bar magnets stronger than horseshoe magnets?
There are some variables like what the magnet is made of and how it was initially magnetized. If a bar magnet is bent into a horseshoe shape to make a horseshoe magnet, the magnetic field will be more dense (stronger) across the gap of the horseshoe magnet than it would have been anywhere around the bar magnet from which it was made. And since magnets are strongest at their poles, horseshoe magnets can use both their poles at once while bar magnets can only use one pole at a time.
What direction does the needle on a compass point when a horseshoe magnet is put beside it?
The direction of the needle will remain unchanged. This is due to magnetic forces, the needle will remain in line with the lines of magnetic force which flow between the north and south 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 many Poles in a magnet?
two poles Snehasis Dutta
What is the difference between the magnetic fields of horseshoe and bar magnets?
The magnetic field for a bar magnet is fairly circular around the whole of the magnet, with the north and south poles at opposite ends. The magnetic field for a horseshoe magnet, however, only arcs in front of the two ends, as both are pointed on the same end.
What is a horseshoe magnet?
Magnet shaped like a horseshoe, so both the polarities are pointed the same way. They can be weak or strong magnets (my dad had a couple when we were kids... we put a broomstick in them and did chin-ups from the I-beam in the basement, because they were strong enough to hold a 12-year-old's weight easily). Here is a site with a picture of some: http://www.indigo.com/magnets/gphmgnts/chrome-steel-horseshoe-magnets.html
How many poles does a diamond shaped magnet have?
What is little known, is that the whole of the UK is a giant magnet. This is why poles are attracted to it!
How do you find the poles of a horseshoe magnet?
If there is a repulsion between A and N then A is North pole and B is South pole of the horse shoe magnet. If B and N repel each other the B is north and A is south of the horse shoe magnet.
