How can we find poles of an odd shaped magnet?

To find the poles of an oddly shaped magnet, you can use a small compass. Move the compass around the magnet; the needle will point toward the magnetic north pole of the magnet, which is its south pole, while the opposite end of the compass needle indicates the magnet's north pole. Additionally, you can sprinkle iron filings around the magnet; they will align along the magnetic field lines, revealing the poles' locations.
