All magnets have a north and a south pole. There is a theoretical particle called a unipole which can be either just a north or south pole. No one has ever found one.

What will happen to a spherical magnet when it enters the magnetic field of a bar magnet?

The spherical magnet will experience a force that will try to align it with the magnetic field of the bar magnet. Depending on the orientation of the spherical magnet and the bar magnet, it may either be attracted or repelled. If the polarity of the two magnets is aligned, they will be attracted to each other; if the polarity is opposite, they will be repelled.


Why magnetic objects attracts to only one side of a magnet?

Magnetic objects are attracted to a magnet because of the properties of the magnetic field. When a magnetic object is brought near a magnet, the magnetic fields interact in a way that leads to attraction. This attraction occurs due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the object, causing it to be pulled towards the side of the magnet with the opposite polarity.


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.


How to find the North Pole of a ring magnet?

we can find the poles of a ring magnet by tieing thread along the circumference of it and suspend it with a torsionless string then it will allign itself according to earth magnetic field


What do you mean the south seeking pole in a magnet?

The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.

How do you use the word polarity in a sentence?

The polarity of both ends of a magnet is different. The positive and negative polarity exist for a magnet.


Will changing the polarity of the current change the polarity of the electo magnet?

Yes!


How can one determine the polarity of a magnet?

To determine the polarity of a magnet, you can use a compass. The end of the magnet that attracts the north pole of the compass is the magnet's north pole, and the end that attracts the south pole of the compass is the magnet's south pole.


When a magnet splits why does the polarity change?

The polarity of a magnet does not change if the magnet is cut into pieces. Each piece has the same polarity that it had before. In particular, if you break a bar magnet in half at the midline between the two poles, you will end up with two magnets N-S and N-S. No reversal of polarity occurs.


How can the polarity of a magnet be determined?

Use a compass. It will always point to a magnet's south pole.


What type of magnet can vary its strength and polarity?

electromagnet


What kind of magnet can vary its strength polarity?

an electromagnet


How do you identify the polarities in round magnet?

You can identify the polarities of a round magnet using a compass. The end of the magnet that points north on the compass is the north pole of the magnet, while the end that points south on the compass is the south pole of the magnet.


How can you reverse the rotation of barlow's wheel?

Reverse the polarity of the magnet.


What is polarity definition for kids?

opposites attracting, like a magnet.


How to determine the polarity of a magnet without a compass?

To determine the polarity of a magnet without a compass, you can use the "hanging method." Hang the magnet from a string and observe how it aligns itself. The end that points north is the north pole, and the opposite end is the south pole.


Can you make a magnet float with another magnet of the opposite polarity?

No, opposite polarities attract, alike polarities repel.
