Why do nails stick at the end of the magnet and not the middle?

This is because of the polarity of the magnetic field and how north interact with south.
In the middle of the magnet, the magnetic field is sort of neutral.
The further away from middle and the stronger the force will be.

Why dont magnets stick together when you put them the wrong way?
Because when you put the north end of the magnet of the north end on the other magnet, or vise versa, it repells, which is when they bounce away from each other.

How do you make a magnet with two south poles or north poles?
It is not possible to create a magnet with two south poles or two north poles. Both the poles always exist along with each other. Force 2 magnets together end to end with the south poles together. You will get a north pole at each end and a big south pole in the middle. This arrangement is called a quadrupole.
Will the north end of a suspended magnet point to the magnetic north pole?
true, if the the magnet is not labeled the north end will always point towards the north pole.
An unmagnetized needle will not attract another unmagnetized needle but if one end of the needle is in contact with a magnet the other end will attract the other needle explain?
One of the needles has become a magnet.
Why would a hiker carry a magnet and a string?
Using a magnet, string and needle you can create a crude but workable compass. Method Get a needle or a very small nail and a bar magnet. Also get some thread or a bowl of water and two tiny pieces of cork. Hold the needle in one hand and the magnet in the other. Put the North end of the magnet against the needle in the middle and rub it towards and off the point. Lift the magnet up and away from the needle and place it in the middle again. Repeat rubbing the North end of the magnet against one half of the needle 20 times or so. Flip the magnet over so you are using the South end and rub it from the middle to the 'eye' end of the needle 20 times. You have magnetized the needle just like a compass needle. Hanging Compass Tie one end of a length of thread to a stick and the other end to the middle of the needle. Balance is important Let the needle hang freely and slide the thread to a point on the needle where it balances level. Lower the needle into a wide-mouthed jar and lay the stick across the opening to prevent wind interference. Watch which way your compass needle turns. It should always settle to the same direction.
Is it easier to carry a bucket on the end of the stick or the middle?
In the middle because it is in equilibrium.

What has a foot at each end and a foot in the middle?
A Yard Stick
How would you find the middle of a stick?
Measure the length of the stick and divide that number by 2. For example: If the length of the stick is measured to be 2 meters, then 2 meters / 2 = 1 meter. The middle of the stick can be located by measuring 1 meter from either end of the stick towards the center (middle) of the stick.
Why do magnet stick together?
Magnets stick together when you have two different poles next to each other. The North end and the South end attract, whereas two of the same poles repel. It is a magnetic force or pull that makes them stick together.
Do you need a north or south magnet to stick to the fridge?
There are not separate north and south magnets; each magnet has both a north end and a south end. These can't be separated. Putting a magnet against a normal (non-magnetized) piece of iron, like the refrigerator, works no matter in what direction (north or south) you put it; the magnetism of the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator in this case.
When did The Magnet end?
The Magnet ended in 1940.
What do we call a end of a magnet?

When did Magnet Records end?

Making a magnet with another magnet?
if you have a magnet and a magnetic matereal, rub the magnet from one end of it to the other. do this several times and it will eventualy be a magnet.
How can you break a magnet with out breaking in in half?
Cutting a magnet in half can be done in a number of ways. A hack saw might work well (but the cuttings will stick to the magnet and the saw blade). Some magnets can actually be broken in half. But that leaves a "rough" end and is imprecise.
