Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A ____ is one of two ends of a magnet.
A
pole
B
compass
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two ends of a magnet are called poles and are always different from each other. The end that points north, if allowed to move freely, is called the north pole. The other end is the south pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ends of a magnet are called its poles. One end is called the north pole, the other is called the south pole. If you line up two magnets so that the south pole of one faces the north pole of the other, the magnets will pull towards each other. This is called attraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -THE MAGNETIC FORCE IS CONCENTRATED AT THE TWO ENDS OR POLES OF A MAGNET. The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, The two ends of a magnet where its magnetic power is concentrated are known as magnetic poles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnets have two poles on either end. These two poles are named the north pole and south pole.
