How many poles does a magnet have?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic field is represented by field lines that start at a magnet’s north pole and end at the south pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two poles of a magnet are called the north pole and south pole.

Detailed explanation-3: -South. Every magnet has two different ends. This one is called the south pole, and will pull toward the north poles of other magnets.

Detailed explanation-4: -Well bar magnets have two poles, so their magnetic fields are called dipole which means–you guessed it–two poles! But some magnets have more than two poles. In fact, some have four, or six, or even eight!

Detailed explanation-5: -Though magnets each have a north pole and a south pole, according to the laws of physics, there’s no real reason why a monopole couldn’t exit. Cut a magnet in two, and you just end up with two smaller magnets, each with a north and a south pole.
