We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.

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.


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.


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


What do you know about magnetic attraction?

magnetic attraction occurs when the north pole and south pole or the south pole and north pole of a magnet come together or attract each other, they come close and once they are close enough they stick to each other

What two poles do magnets have?

Magnets have two poles, these poles are called the North pole and the South pole. The North pole is the side of the magnet that points to the Earth's North pole when freely suspended.

Do bar magnets have a north and South pole?

Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.


What pole is positive?

The pole that is positive in a magnetic or electric system is the one that has a north or positive charge associated with it. In magnets, the north pole is considered positive, while in circuits, the positive pole is often associated with the direction of conventional current flow.

If you're talking magnets, then yes.


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.


Is the north pole a negative charge?

Magnets are said to have a "north pole" and a "south pole". Traditionally, the north pole of a magnet is the side that would be attracted toward the North Pole of the Earth in a compass. Since opposite magnetic poles attract, the Earth's "Magnetic North Pole" is physically a magnetic south pole.To answer the question... No, the north pole is not a negative charge. We speak of north and south poles in magnetism. We speak of positive and negative charges in electrostatics.


Facts about magnet?

Magnets have 2 different sides called North pole and South pole. If a north pole is attracted to another north pole they will repelel same with a south and a south pole.
