Where are the greatest of magnet located?
At the two points or ends on a magnet, called the north and south poles.
What labels north and south are the two ends of a magnet?
Hahahahahahahaha I don't know
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.
Why are there north and south ends to a magnet?
Originally, the poles of a magnet were called the 'North-seeking pole' and the 'South-seeking pole', because they pointed towards the North (actually Magnetic North) and South respectively. Over time, we have dropped the 'seeking' part of the names and they are now known, simply, as the 'north pole' and the 'south pole' These terms were then used as the names of the magnetic polarities of a magnet. Because 'unlike poles attract', the location we call "Magnetic North" has a south magnetic polarity.
Where is the magnitude of the magnetic field around a permanent magnet greatest?
Where it is the most dramatic and strongest, the poles. Which is why at the ends of magnets they label the sides (North, South).
What are north and south ends of a magnet called?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
The strongest parts of the magnet are called the?
The north and south ends of a magnet are called magnetic north pole and south pole. The ends are named such because of the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.
What ere the ends of a magnet called?
North and south poles.
The ends of a magnet are called what?
a pole
Where are the greatest of magnet located?
At the two points or ends on a magnet, called the north and south poles.
Where are the greatest strength of magnet located?
At the two points or ends on a magnet, called the north and south poles.
What is the proper name for the ends of magnets?
The ends of a bar magnet are generally called the north and south poles. However they are more accurately known as the North Attracting pole and the South Attracting pole as the respective ends of the magnet are drawn to the Earths north and south poles.
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
What is the name of the ends of magnet?
north and south
What do you call two different ends of a magnet?
North and South :)
What is the special name for both ends of a magnet?
North and South!
