In what way are magnetic poles very different from electric charges?

Magnetic poles can not exist and monopoles but must be in pairs where you have a force from one polarity to another. Electric charges, such as plus and minus, can exist alone.

What are the similarities of magnetic poles and electric charge?
Magnetic poles and electric charges both act the same as in:"opposites attract and same repel."Electric charge is the source of magnetic poles. The Magnetic pole is W=zq where z is the free space impedance 375 Ohms and q is the charge. W units is the Weber or volt-second.
Magnetic poles are similar to electric charges in that they both can repel and attarct one another?
Yes, the rules for applying attraction and repulsion forces are the same for electric charges and magnets.
Difference between a dipole and a folded dipole?
Electric fields are described by Coulomb's Law, and they are fairly straightforward; like charges repel and opposite charges attract. Magnetism is more complicated, although it looks very similar, since like poles repel and opposite poles attract. But where as there are electric charges which generate electric fields, there are not magnetic charges that generate magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are actually created by electric charges, just as electric fields are, which is why electricity and magnetism are both aspects of electromagnetism rather than being separate forces. Spinning electrons generate a particular kind of electric force which, in combination with other spinning electrons, winds up creating forces that can be conveniently described as magnetic lines of force. But in reality, they are a form of electric force. Physicists do theorize that there could be a particle called a magnetic monopole which generates its own magnetic force, rather than being dependent upon spinning electrons to do so, however no such particle has ever been detected and it remains purely theoretical.
How do you use the word 'repel' in a sentence?
Atheists always repel the sayings about the existence of God. Magnetic poles repel each other Electric charges repel each other. Always repel the usage of drugs.
What is the pole of a magnet?
Law of Magnetic Poles: Opposite magnetic poles attract, similar magnetic poles repel.
How the behavior of electric charges similar to that of magnetic poles?
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
Are there positive and negative magnetic charges analogous to positive and negative electric charges?
Outside the dubious field of magnetic therapists, the terms 'positive' and 'negative' are not applied to magnetic polarities. Furthermore, we do not describe magnetic polarity as a 'charge'. However, magnetic poles and electric charges follow the same rule -i.e. like poles repel while unlike poles attract.
How are Electric charge similar to magnetic poles how are they different?
Main similarity: Like charges repel each other, different charges attract each other.Main difference: Magnetic "charges" can't be separated. At least, so far it has not been achieved.
What is difference between between electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment?
Magnetic dipole is due to two poles of magnet. Electric dipole is due to +ve and -ve charges of electric charges.
How are magnetic poles and electric charges similar?
Main similarity: Like charges repel each other, different charges attract each other.Main difference: Magnetic "charges" can't be separated. At least, so far it has not been achieved.
What like magnet poles do?
Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.
What are the similarities of magnetic poles and electric charge?
Magnetic poles and electric charges both act the same as in:"opposites attract and same repel."Electric charge is the source of magnetic poles. The Magnetic pole is W=zq where z is the free space impedance 375 Ohms and q is the charge. W units is the Weber or volt-second.
How is the strength of two magnetic poles related to the force between them?
The rule for the interaction between the magnetic poles is similar to the interaction between the electrical charges in terms of the attraction and repulsion. In both cases the unlike poles attract while the like poles repel.
Magnetic poles are similar to electric charges in that they both can repel and attarct one another?
Yes, the rules for applying attraction and repulsion forces are the same for electric charges and magnets.
How are electrical charges similar to magnetic poles?
There are two oppositely "charged" poles for both electric and magnetic. For magnetism we call the poles North and South, while for static electricity we call the poles positive and negative. Of course, you can walk away with the electrically charged positive pole, while you can't walk away with the North "charged" pole. There are differences. There is (apparently) no magnetic monopole.
How electric charges similar to magnetic poles?
There are two oppositely "charged" poles for both electric and magnetic. For magnetism we call the poles North and South, while for static electricity we call the poles positive and negative. Of course, you can walk away with the electrically charged positive pole, while you can't walk away with the North "charged" pole. There are differences. There is (apparently) no magnetic monopole.
Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other
