GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two poles of the bar magnet as the North Pole and the South Pole. These poles are located at both the ends of the bar magnet but they are not present at the extreme end.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets can also attract each other, but only if they face in opposite directions. A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two ends of a magnets are called poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. These magnetic poles behave rather like electric charges.

Detailed explanation-5: -A bar magnet suspended in Earth’s magnetic field orients itself in a north–south direction. The north-seeking pole of such a magnet, or any similar pole, is called a north magnetic pole. The south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole.
