The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)

What is the north and south ends of a magnet called?

The north and south ends of a magnet are called poles. The north pole is attracted to the south pole, and vice versa, creating a magnetic field.


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 magnetic field and force weakest in a magnet?

The magnetic field and force are weakest at the poles of a magnet. This is because the magnetic field lines are more spread out at the poles, resulting in a lower field strength compared to the regions closer to the center of the magnet. Additionally, the force experienced by a magnetic material is weaker at the poles due to the lower magnetic field intensity in those areas.


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.


Where is the magnitude of the magnetic field around a permanent magnet greatest?

The magnitude of the magnetic field around a permanent magnet is greatest at the poles of the magnet. This is where the magnetic field lines are most closely packed and the field strength is the highest.
