magnet has two poles..one is north pole n the other is south pole. the earth also has a magnet within it which has a dierction opposite to the direction of the geographical poles.i.e. the geographical north of earth is its magnetic south and vice versa. If a bar magnet is suspended freely , its one end is attracted to the magnetic north which is geographical south of earth n therefore that end of the magnet is called south pole.and the other end is called north pole.
