Magnetism is the result of moving electrical charges - and such movement will always result in a dipole.On the other hand, it has indeed been considered, by some modern theories, that there might be so-called "magnetic monopoles" - particles with only a north (or south) magnetic "charge" but no such monopoles have been observed so far. Perhaps the monopoles - should they exist - are too massive to be created in particle accelerators, for example.

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.


How do you find the poles of a magnet?

If there is a repulsion between A and N then A is North pole and B is South pole of the horse shoe magnet. If B and N repel each other the B is north and A is south of the horse shoe magnet.


How do you find the poles of a horseshoe magnet?

If there is a repulsion between A and N then A is North pole and B is South pole of the horse shoe magnet. If B and N repel each other the B is north and A is south of the horse shoe magnet.


Where is the North Pole of the top magnet?

The North Pole of a magnet is the end that seeks the Earth's magnetic North when freely suspended. In a bar magnet, this pole is typically marked with a "N." It is important to note that the Earth's magnetic North Pole is not the same as the geographic North Pole, as they are located at different points.


Why are the poles of a magnet called N and S?

When a magnet is freely suspended at its center it will set itself along the north-south direction. The tip pointing towards the geographical north direction is called the north pole and the other tip is called the south 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.

a large bar magnet which has itz north pole n south pole opposite.........


You are given a bar magnet how will you find out the west direction?

The sun sets in the West and rises in the East. Unless the bar magnet has its N pole marked, it is of little use, you can get it to point N/S by freely suspending it but you will not be able to tell east from west. The direction the sun is moving is more relevant.


If you break a bar magnet in half would it repell or attrack?

The ends of a bar magnet broken in two will still attract one another. Imagine a bar magnet with a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole: N----------------S Now imagine that the magnet is broken in the middle: N-------//--------S The two existing poles cannot change, but neither is it possible to have a North pole without a south, or vice-versa, so the separated parts will now look like this: N-------S N--------S The south pole of the leftmost section sits next to the North pole of that on the right, and they will be attracted to one another.


Why do magnets always align in N-S direction?

Magnets always align in N-S direction because the earth itself behaves lika a huge bar magnet. The north pole of the bar magnet attracts the geographical south pole and the south pole attracts the geographical north pole. That is why magnets always align in N-S direction.


What is the north pole of the magnet?

The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.


Where are the poles of a disc magnet located?

It depends on the magnet, most of them have poles on the flat faces, but some magnets are magnetised on the outside diameter. this means that if you draw a line across the flat face, the south pole is on one side and the north pole on the other side
