Every magnet has a north pole, and a south pole. Unlike electric charges, these can NOT be separated. If you cut a magnet into two smaller pieces, each one will still have a north pole and a south pole. Some theories predict that there should be "magnetic monopole" (isolated poles, that is), but so far, none have been found.
