Does every magnet necessarily have a north and a south pole?

Yes,every magnet has a north pole and a south pole.IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH POLES :If you have a magnet and you make a line exactly in the middle you will see that one side is the north pole and the other one is a south pole . You can even experiment this : when you are done drawing a line cut your magnet by that line . Do you think that you will have two magnets and one of them is south pole and the other one is the north pole . Well no !!!!!! You will have two magnets but both of them have south and north poles.Now:Remember , you know this magnets attach to each other .But north pole and an other north pole will never attach to each other.And the same thing goes for the south poles. Two south poles will never atach.Only two different poles will attach to each other ( north and south will attach, and south and north will attach to each other as well).ALL magnets have one north pole and one south pole.


How do magnets connect?

( kingfurgill ) uhmm here's what I think: Ok, Theres magnet 1 and magnet 2, both have a south pole and a north pole. the south pole of magnet 1 connects to the north pole of magnet 2 and the north pole of magnet 1 connects to the south pole of magnet 2 ( that's what i learned at school today( ^_^ ) )


What are some true statements for magnets and their poles?

The earth is an electromagnet. It has a north pole and a south pole. Apex: A magnet always has two poles, earth is a elecrtomagnet


Can you have a magnet with three poles?

No, magnets can only have two poles: a north pole and a south pole. This is a fundamental property of magnets based on their internal magnetic field alignment.


Is the south pole of a magnet stronger than the north pole?

Not if the magnet is symmetrical, and you define 'strength' in terms of flux density.Yes because it has a stronger attraction rate.there is no stronger or weaker for a magnet

What is the composition of a magnet?

Modern magnets are made from alloys of Al, Ni, Fe, and Co. Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic lines of force on a magnet originate at the north pole and end at the south pole.


Why don't magnets stick to opposite ends of other magnets?

Magnet does not stick to the opposite of the magnet because one side of the magnet is called south pole and another side is called north pole .And south pole is suppose to stick north to north and south to South
