What else can I help you with?
What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
What is salient pole of a generator?
The phrase "Salent Pole" is used to specify a specific internal field winding configuration around the magnet of a generator. In English, Salient means "sticking out" or "most noticeable or important". Pole refers to the North or South end of a magnet. If you take a long rectangular magnet with a North and South Pole on each end, and you surround it with electrically conductive material like wire, and you spin the magnet, electrons will flow back and forth in the wire. This is how some generators create electricity. You can determine if your generator is a salient pole generator by inspecting its internal components. With a salient pole generator, you would notice that the magnetic poles in the magnet are "sticking out" and when passed in proximity to the wire an electrical current is created. For a salient pole machine, the windings are wrapped around magnets with edges or teeth that stick out.

How can one determine the polarity of a magnet?
To determine the polarity of a magnet, you can use a compass. The end of the magnet that attracts the north pole of the compass is the magnet's north pole, and the end that attracts the south pole of the compass is the magnet's south pole.
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?
If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
Why don't magnets stick to magnets?
Magnet sticks to another magnet when north pole of the first magnet approaches the south pole of the second magnet.
How can you tell which side is which on a magnet?
suspend the magnet from a string at its center of gravity. The north pole of the magnet will point to the north pole. (The north magnetic pole of the earth is actually a south seeking pole.)Another AnswerUse a compass. It's north seeking pole will be attracted towards the magnet's south pole and its south-seeking pole will be attracted towards the magnet's north pole.
Why does a broken magnet remain a magnet?
It is so far experimentally impossible to separate the North Pole from the South Pole. Even if you cut the magnet into little pieces, it'll still remain a magnet because there will still be a North pole and a South Pole
