Currently, to my knowledge, nobody has discovered a monopole (magnet with a single pole), although this is something that is predicted by super string theory and the grand unification theory.
So for now, in your everyday life, it is safe to say that a magnet always has two poles.

Is it true that the north pole of one magnet will attract the north pole of another magnet?
False. Like poles always repel each other. So no chance of attraction
Magnet field lines curve out from one pole and return to the same pole True or false?
False.
What side is a magnet stronger?
The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.
Why the magnetic poles of a magnet cannot be separated?
The poles of a magnet are not separate entities. There is no fixed part of the magnet called the North Pole or the South Pole.In a magnet, the magnetic moments of all the individual atoms are acting in the same direction, from one end to the other. We name one direction as the North Pole and one as the South Pole.So, even if the magnet is broken, the magnetic moments are still aligned in the same direction, and each of the pieces have their own respective North and South Poles.Note: by convention, we name the poles in such a way that the moment is directed from the South Pole to the North Pole, inside the magnet.
Do magnets have an east and west pole?
No, magnets have a north and south pole. The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet, while like poles repel each other.
Is it true that the north pole of one magnet will attract the north pole of another magnet?
False. Like poles always repel each other. So no chance of attraction
Magnet field lines curve out from one pole and return to the same pole True or false?
False.
True or false that the further apart two magnets are from one another the stronger the forces that attract or repeal the magnet?
False. The magnetic force of attraction or repulsion between the magnetic poles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the poles. So farther apart two magnets the force between them becomes weaker.
What are the poles on a magnet?
One pole in a magnet which is n stands for north , and the other pole on a magnet which is s , stands for south. Those are the two poles on a magnet.
If you cut a magnet into very small pieces you just have north and south poles which one would it be?
No, not true. If you cut a magnet into pieces, each piece has both north and south poles. Doesn't matter how big or small the pieces are.
Which poles on a magnet will repel?
Like poles repel, opposites attract. So a N pole of one bar magnet will repel the N pole of another bar magnet. And the same applies to two S poles.
Why isn't there repulsion between the poles of the same magnet?
One magnet has two different poles. Thus they attract, and don't repulse, eachother.
An example of a permanent magnet?
An example of a permanent magnet would be the Earth. The Earth is one giant magnet with opposite poles.
What side is a magnet stronger?
The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.
What happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?
Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.
What is magnetisum?
Magnetism is the force with which objects are attracted or repelled to one another. Usually these objects are metals such as iron. Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or suspended the magnet lines up in a north - south direction. When the north pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of another magnet, the poles are repelled. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one another. The attraction repelling of two magnets towards one another depends on how close they are to each other and how strong the magnetic force is within the magnet. The further apart of the magnets are the less they are attracted or repelled to one another.
