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.)

∙ 9y agoIn bar magnets, the magnetic poles are at the ends of the bar. You can cut any bar magnet and it will always have poles at the ends no matter how many times it is divided.

At the two points or ends on a magnet, called the north and south poles.
When is a magnetic field is the strongest on a magnet?
the magnet field is the strongest well the summer solstic when the suns gravitational pull is the strongest
Where is the magnitude of the magnetic field around a permanent magnet greatest?
Where it is the most dramatic and strongest, the poles. Which is why at the ends of magnets they label the sides (North, South).
Where are the magnetic field and force weakest in a magnet?
Since the poles are on the right and left ends, the weakest part would be in the middle.
