Maybe. Monopoles are theoretical. This has been a question for some time, and just recently, monopoles have been discovered on the subatomic level. As of yet, they cannot be turned into the magnet that you and I imagine, but with only one pole due to their unique crystaline structure.

Perhaps single poles ("monopoles") exist, perhaps they don't. The traditional theories of magnetism say they do not exist - any electrical current will produce both a north pole and a south pole, there don't seem to be independent magnetic "charges", as there are electrical charges. But yet, physicists are actively searching for them monopoles!

Many physicists believe there could be magnetic monopoles in the universe (they are not forbidden by any currently known physical law). However, no magnetic monopole has ever actually been observed.

No, because magnets are powered by sheer opposition. It's like clapping your hands, without both, it's a lot harder than usual.

No, it has two. A magnet with only one pole would be like a rubber band that only pulls at one end.

No. A magnet has two poles, a south seeking pole and a north seeking pole

How do the two ends of a magnet affect attraction and replusion?

The magnet only attracts magnetic materials like iron and tin.The two eds are called poles,one is the north pole and the other one is the south pole.The pole is an end of a magnet that has the highest attraction.The pole will attract things only which behaves like the opposite pole and would repel the like poles.


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.

Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?

The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.

What effect will the north pole of one magnet have on the north pole of another magnet?

they will not stick together because opposites attract.
