What else can I help you with?
If you break a magnet do you get two smaller magnets?
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
Do magnets have an east and west pole?
Of course not! A magnet's poles are named after the directions in which they face when suspended.
Why don't magnets stick to opposite ends of other magnets?
Magnet does not stick to the opposite of the magnet because one side of the magnet is called south pole and another side is called north pole .And south pole is suppose to stick north to north and south to South
What unlike poles of magnets do to each other?
Unlike poles of magnets attract each other. The North pole of one magnet will attract the South pole of another magnet, and vice versa. This attraction is due to the magnetic field that surrounds each magnet.
Why do magnets always align in N-S direction?
Magnets always align in N-S direction because the earth itself behaves lika a huge bar magnet. The north pole of the bar magnet attracts the geographical south pole and the south pole attracts the geographical north pole. That is why magnets always align in N-S direction.
Why don't magnets stick to magnets?
Magnet sticks to another magnet when north pole of the first magnet approaches the south pole of the second magnet.
What happens when you break a magnet into smaller pieces?
You get a bunch of smaller magnets and you will still have north pole.
If you break a magnet do you get two smaller magnets?
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnetic poles?
If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.
How do magnets connect?
( kingfurgill ) uhmm here's what I think: Ok, Theres magnet 1 and magnet 2, both have a south pole and a north pole. the south pole of magnet 1 connects to the north pole of magnet 2 and the north pole of magnet 1 connects to the south pole of magnet 2 ( that's what i learned at school today( ^_^ ) )
What is the composition of a magnet?
Modern magnets are made from alloys of Al, Ni, Fe, and Co. Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic lines of force on a magnet originate at the north pole and end at the south pole.
Do bar magnets have a north and South pole?
Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
Do magnets have an east and west pole?
Of course not! A magnet's poles are named after the directions in which they face when suspended.
If you break a magnet in half are 4 poles created like 2 normal magnets?
yes. Four poles are created like two normal magnets. if we further divide the 2 new magnets, we get 4 new magnets each with its own north pole and south pole.
Is it possible to break a magnet into two pieces so one of the pieces has just one pole?
No, it is not possible to break a magnet into two pieces so that one piece has just one pole. Magnets always have two poles, one north and one south. Splitting a magnet would result in two separate magnets, each with its own north and south pole.
Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

A magnet has both a positive side and a negative side. can you just have a magnet that is positive?
No, no matter what, magnets have poles. In other words, magnets will always have a positive and negative side. If you cut you magnet in half, those two new magnets will both have + and - sides. Do this infinity times until you have a magnet 1 atom thick. The atom will still have a positive and negative pole. Hope this helps.
