This can't be seen with the unaided eye. But if you hang the magnet on a string, the end that points north is the magnet's north pole - it alligns itself that way, due to the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of a magnet flows from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet, and from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet.

What is the direction of the magnetic field of a bar magnet?
The field lines would leave one pole (end of the magnet) and then curve around one side to come back to the other pole in kind of a semi-oval. Picture two ovals side by side, then picture the bar magnet placed between them, overlaying the long edges of the ovals where the ovals touch. This can be observed by pouring some iron filings onto a piece of paper and then placing a bar magnet underneath the paper. The filings will line up along the field lines providing a visual picture.
Every magnet regardless of its shape has two what?
Every magnet, regardless of shape, has two poles: a north pole and a south pole. Magnetic field lines flow from the north pole to the south pole.
What shape is the magnetic field?
The magnetic field is typically represented as a series of lines that form closed loops from the north pole to south pole of a magnet, creating a dipole shape. It extends indefinitely in all directions around a magnet or current-carrying wire.
Each end of a magnet is called?
Each end of a magnet is called a pole. There are two types of poles on a magnet: a north pole and a south pole. These poles are where the magnetic field is strongest and where the magnetic forces originate from.
What happens when a compass is near a magnet?
Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.Then the compass would react according to the magnetic field of the magnet.
What does the direction of the magnetic field depend on?
The direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of the flow of electric charges. It follows the right-hand rule, where the thumb represents the current flow and the fingers represent the direction of the magnetic field lines.
How can you tell where the field is strongest on a bar magnet?
I think it is the north and the south parts of the magnet.
Every magnet has two?
Every magnet has two poles, called the north and south poles. Magnetic field lines begin at the north pole, and end at the south pole.
Where is the magnetic field on a magnet the stongest?
The magnetic field of a magnet is strongest right at the poles, both the north pole and the south pole (which are equally strong).
What are the two sides of magnet called?
north pole and south pole
What is Magnet?
is a meterial or object that produces a megnetic field
Is magnetic field vector?
yes, b/c it is directed from north to south pole of a magnet.
What would happen when a magnet meet to the south and south and north and north?
the magnet will repel
What does the s and the n mean in a magnet?
NORTH AND SOUTH
Why a freely suspended magnet comes to rest in north south direction?
It reacts to the magnetic field of the Earth.
Why poles of the magnet can't be separaed?
Magnets are related to electrical currents; the electrical current produces a symmetrical magnetic field, i.e., it has a north and a south part.In the case of a permanent magnet, each atom has a tiny magnet, with its own north pole and south pole.
Why does a magnet left to float freely on a cork end up pointing north or south?
If a magnet is "left to float freely", it will align to any magnetic field - or more precisely, to the horizontal component of the magnetic field. And if there is no stronger magnet nearby, this field will be governed by Earth's magnetic field.
