The following two methods are really the same idea:

1). Test against a known magnet. Observe whether there is an attraction or repulsion between them.

2). Hang the bar by a string from its mid-point. Observe whether it shows a tendency to align itself in a preferred direction.

Another method:

3). Observe whether the bar picks up paper clips. ---- If you have two bars and are told that one of them is a magnet but the other is not, and you are not allowed to use any other metal, string, etc. to determine which is which, see which one is attracted to the middle of the other bar. That one's the magnet.

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.

How will you find out which one is magnet when two identical bars are given one of them is a magnet and the other is a simple iron bar?

One way is to suspend each bar from a string tied around the middle of the bar. The magnetized bar should rotate to orient itself with the Earth north and south magnetic poles. The other bar will just hang there.


What is the color code given on the two ends of the magnet bar?

The two ends of a magnet bar are typically colored with red and blue to indicate their polarity. Red signifies the north pole, while blue signifies the south pole.


Is a bar magnet magnetic?

Yes, a bar magnet is inherently magnetic due to its alignment of magnetic domains within the material. This alignment creates a magnetic field around the magnet that interacts with other magnetic material or objects.
