GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The two ends of a magnets are called poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -They point from the north pole to the south pole. However, the magnetic field lines do not just end at the tip of the magnet. They go right through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field points from the south pole to the north pole. Thus the magnetic field lines form a closed loop and do not have any ends.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unless they came marked with “N” or “S, ” the poles of a magnet look the same. One easy way to tell which pole is north and which is south is to set your magnet near a compass. The needle on the compass that normally points toward the north pole of the Earth will move toward the magnet’s south pole.
