Yes, for instance each sunspot on the sun is caused by separate pairs of magnetic poles poking through the sun's photosphere. No, no matter how many times you break up a magnet, it will always have a north and a south pole. No matter how small the magnet is.

What does it mean if a magnetic viewer shows more than two poles?

oh lordy!!


Why do charged particles from outer space like cosmic rays strike Earth more frequently at the poles than at the equator?

Charged particles from outer space are more likely to strike Earth at the poles due to the Earth's magnetic field shaping their paths. The magnetic field lines converge at the magnetic poles, directing charged particles towards these regions. This results in a higher concentration of cosmic ray impacts at the poles compared to the equator.


Does the Earth have more than two magnetic poles?

The Earth has two main magnetic poles, the North Pole and the South Pole, where the magnetic field lines converge. However, there are also localized areas where the magnetic field is strong, leading to additional poles known as magnetic anomalies.


Which location is the magnetic field the strongest?

A magnetic field is generally strongest (most concentrated) at a pole. Note that, while familiar magnets have two poles, it is also possible for a magnet to have more than two. Whether a magnet could have only pole is controversial. The Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the north and south magnetic poles, which are near the north and south geographic poles. The magnetic poles move over time and are generally not located precisely at the geographic poles.


What is the force that dictates that objects weigh more at the equator than at the poles?

Well the above question is not true, The same object will weigh less at the equator than at the poles (of Earth). The force is the force of gravity and the effect is because the object placed at the poles will be nearer the center of the Earth than at the equator because the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.


What is the tendency of iron filings concentrates on the north and south poles?

becouse at north &south poles the pole strength is more than other part of bar magnet so attraction is also more at poles Theoretically, magnet's lines of force - as evinced by the iron filings - encompases all universe, but, nonetheless, they meet together at the magnet's poles


Why is the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?

The weight of an object is less at the equator compared to the poles due to the centripetal force produced by the Earth's rotation. At the equator, this force partially counteracts the force of gravity, effectively reducing the object's weight. This difference in weight is more noticeable for objects with larger mass.


Why is the density of field lines greater at the poles of a magnet than anywhere across it?

The density of field lines is greater at the poles of a magnet because the magnetic field lines are closer together due to the concentrated magnetic force at the poles. This density is a visual representation of the stronger magnetic field that exists at the poles compared to other areas across the magnet.


What side is a magnet stronger?

The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.


Is the earths magnetic field constant throghout?

No, the Earth's Magnetic Field acts just like a BAR Magnetic. It has a North and South Pole and its magnetic lines of its force field are more tightly 'compressed' near the Poles than at the Equator. See the image below for an example, or Google "magnetic field lines".


What makes an object less at the equator than it is at the poles because of the Earth's?

Rotation.


Is the weight of a person or object much less at the poles than at the equator?
