All permanent magnets have two poles.
A permanent magnet may have a complicated geometry, but even then the magnetic poles always reduce to the category of north pole or south pole.
We say that magnetic field lines start at a north pole and end at a south pole. (In reality, the lines go through the magnet and connect inside so there really is never an end to a magnetic field line.)
Electromagnets do not have a pole in the same sense as a permanent magnet, so there is no place on an electromagnet for a field line to start or stop. That is fine, of course, since it is really having field line starting or stopping which is not allowed by the laws of physics.
The fundamental laws of magnetism do not permit the possibility of a single pole on a magnet or atom or particle of any sort. Such a thing has a name. It is called a magnetic monopole. There have been extensive searchers for such an entity, but none have been found. We do not have a guarantee that none exist however. Of course, if one were found it would require that we alter the equations that now constitute the basic laws of electromagnetic theory.
yes
A magnet can have a minimum of 2 poles (north and south poles) and a maximum of an infinite number of poles if the magnet is divided into smaller and smaller sections.
It has 2 poles. They are the North and South Poles.
Currently, to my knowledge, nobody has discovered a monopole (magnet with a single pole), although this is something that is predicted by super string theory and the grand unification theory. So for now, in your everyday life, it is safe to say that a magnet always has two poles.
2, a positive and a negative yes, a magnet has two poles, a north pole and a south pole. and if you break the magnet, each magnet will obtain its own north and south poles. no matter how many times you break a magnet, they will obtain their own north and south poles
North and South (Poles) :)
Answer. Two properties of a magnet are: (i) A magnet always has two poles: north pole and south pole.
A magnet can have a minimum of 2 poles (north and south poles) and a maximum of an infinite number of poles if the magnet is divided into smaller and smaller sections.

No, a magnet cannot have more than 2 poles. Magnets are always dipolar, meaning they will always have a north pole and a south pole. Any region on a magnet will exhibit either north or south pole characteristics.

having 2 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.

2 poles of a magnet
north and south pole
No, breaking a magnet in two does not isolate the north and south poles. Each resulting piece would still have its own north and south poles. A magnet will always have both north and south poles regardless of its size or shape.
