How many poles does a horseshoe magnet have?

It has 2 poles. They are the North and South Poles.


Where did the terms north south east weast?

The terms "north," "south," "east," and "west" ultimately come from Old English and Germanic roots. These directions have been used for centuries to describe the cardinal points on a compass and are based on the Earth's magnetic poles and rotation.


Why the magnetic poles of a magnet cannot be separated?

The poles of a magnet are not separate entities. There is no fixed part of the magnet called the North Pole or the South Pole.In a magnet, the magnetic moments of all the individual atoms are acting in the same direction, from one end to the other. We name one direction as the North Pole and one as the South Pole.So, even if the magnet is broken, the magnetic moments are still aligned in the same direction, and each of the pieces have their own respective North and South Poles.Note: by convention, we name the poles in such a way that the moment is directed from the South Pole to the North Pole, inside the magnet.


If North repels to South and South repels to North why does a compass point to Magnetic North?

North does NOT repel south, etc.; rather, north ATTRACTS south, and north REPELS north.What happens here is as follows. The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The north end of a compass is attracted by Earth's magnetic SOUTH pole; therefore, Earth's ACTUAL magnetic south pole is to the north. However, and confusingly, this has traditionally often been called Earth's magnetic north pole.


What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?

In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.

Why is it impossible to get N and S poles on their own?

We do not really know that it is impossible to have isolated north or south magnetic poles on their own, rather than coming in north-south combinations as we usually find them. Physicists believe that there may exist sub-atomic particles called monopoles which have only one pole, north or south, per particle. These have so far never been found, however.


Why was it important to people when the first person climbed mount Everest?

It was important for someone to reach the summit of Mount Everest as the North and South Poles had been reached and the summit of Mount Everest was the last big adventure for man.


What do the poles have to do with magnetism?

Every magnet has a north pole, and a south pole. Unlike electric charges, these can NOT be separated. If you cut a magnet into two smaller pieces, each one will still have a north pole and a south pole. Some theories predict that there should be "magnetic monopole" (isolated poles, that is), but so far, none have been found.


Can you separate the poles of magnet?

No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.

Who spied on north Vietnam in support of the south?

If people knew that, they wouldn't have been good spies! They would've been executed ones. -- It was not who, it was what spied on North Vietnam. The U.S. destroyer Maddox spied on North Vietnam in support of the south.

Why did they want to climb Mount Everest in 1950s?

Back in the 1920's Mount Everest was climbed for the adventure. It was classed as the thrid pole, both the South and North pole had been reached and Everest was the last unknown adventure.


Why they want to climb mt Everest in 1950?

There were expeditions in the 1920's on Mount Everest as it was seen as the last major adventure to conquer as the North and South Poles had been reached.


Difference between pukamani poles and mortuary poles in Indigenous culture?

Pukamani Poles belong to the Indigenous Tiwi people. The Tiwi Islands are now called Bathurst Island and Melville Island and are a twenty minutes north of Darwin by light plane. Pukamani ploes represent individual people who have passed away and act as a mourning process that can continue after the deceased person has been buried. They are mortuary poles but do not go by this name to Indigenous people.
