Why does a mineral magnet stick to a magnet?
a mineral magnet can stick to a magnet because a mineral magnet has to poles the north and the south poles
What do we call a the ends of a magnet?
poles
Why are the poles of a bar magnet not situated at the extreme ends of the magnet?
The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)
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.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
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.
What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
A magnet that has two poles is described as what?
dipole magnet
What do you call a bar magnet which doesn't have poles?
Without poles, it's not a magnet. It's just a bar. All magnets have north and south poles.
Can you have a magnet with three poles?
No.
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!
