Question

explain the qualities of the poles of a magnet
​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a universal characteristic of all magnets that like poles repel and unlike poles attract. (Note the similarity with electrostatics: unlike charges attract and like charges repel.) ... The magnet's two poles are labeled N and S for north-seeking and south-seeking poles, respectively.

The areas of magnets that have magnetic strength are called “poles.” When we have more than one magnet poles repel, pull or attract each other. Opposite poles always attract each other while like poles repel each other. These acts of attraction and repulsion are known as magnetism. And, the magnetic space around a magnet is known as magnetism.

For all magnets, the point at which all magnetic field lines converge is the south pole and the point from which all magnetic field lines diverge will be the magnetic north pole. The properties of magnetic fields have been summarised as given below

• Magnetic lines of force (magnetic field lines) originate at the north pole and end at the south pole of the magnet
• Magnetic field lines are closest to each other at the poles and their degree of separation varies as you further away from the magnet
• Magnetic lines of force never intersect each other
• A magnetic compass placed at any point of a magnetic field is always tangential to the magnetic line of force at that point.

If you have a magnet, it will have a fixed north on the south pole depending on the convergence or divergence of magnetic force lines. If you were to cut the magnet in half, the poles can never be isolated. Instead, you would have just created another magnet with its own north and south poles.
