What labels north and south are the two ends of a magnet?

The end of a magnet that points towards the Earth's Geographic North Pole is labeled as the North Pole of the magnet, while the end that points towards the South Pole is labeled as the South Pole of the magnet.


Show bar magnet horse shoe magnet dumb bell magnet etc.?

I'm unable to display images, but I can describe them for you. A bar magnet is a straight magnet with north and south poles at opposite ends. A horseshoe magnet is shaped like a horseshoe, with both poles located at the ends of the curved section. A dumbbell magnet consists of two bar magnets joined at the center. Each magnet has its north pole connected to the south pole of the other magnet, creating a closed loop magnetic field.


Where are the poles in round magnet?

In a round magnet, the poles are located at opposite ends of the magnet. One end will be the North pole and the other end will be the South pole. Magnetic field lines flow from the North pole to the South pole.


What is The part of a magnet that points north is called?

The pole of the magnet that points to earth's magnetic north is the south pole of the magnetIt should be understood that the north pointing end of a compass is a North magnetic pole. That being so, the north pole of the earth got its name because of this fact. Actually, the north pole of the earth has a South magnetic polarity which attracts the north pole of the compass. The south pole of a magnet points to the south pole of the earth because the south pole has a north magnetic polarity. Confused? Just remember that true (magnetic) north resides in the magnet; not in the earth. dbm 7/16/09Clearer AnswerThe above answer is incorrect. The poles of a magnet were named after the directions in which they point. The earth's poles were NOT named after a magnet's poles!When a horizontally-suspended comes to rest, it points in an approximately North-South direction. For this reason, the end of the magnet pointing North was called the 'North-Seeking' pole, and the other end was called its 'South-Seeking' pole. We no longer use the terms 'seeking', and we now call the ends of a magnet its 'north pole' and 'south pole' and these terms are also used to define their magnetic polarities.To differentiate it from True North and True South, we say that the magnet actually points to Magnetic North and Magnetic South -these are the names given to directions (or location) NOT their magnetic polarities. So, because 'unlike poles attract', the magnetic polarity at the location we call 'Magnetic North' is a south pole which therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet.


What is dumbbell shaped magnet called?

A dumbbell-shaped magnet is typically referred to as a bar magnet due to its elongated shape with rounded ends resembling the dumbbell. It has north and south poles located at each end and exhibits magnetic properties along its length.

Why don't magnets stick to opposite ends of other magnets?

Magnet does not stick to the opposite of the magnet because one side of the magnet is called south pole and another side is called north pole .And south pole is suppose to stick north to north and south to South
