Positive and Negative
a magnet
positive and negative
Positive end to positive end = repel Negative end to negative end = repel Negative end to positive end = attract
No, magnets always have both a north pole (positive) and a south pole (negative). This is a fundamental property of magnets according to magnetic theory. It is not possible to have a magnet with just one pole.
To determine the positive and negative poles on a magnet, you can use a compass. The end of the magnet that attracts the north pole of a compass is the magnet's south pole, and the end that attracts the south pole of a compass is the magnet's north pole. Label these accordingly as positive and negative, or north and south poles.
Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.
A water molecule is like a magnet in that it has a positive and negative charge distribution. The oxygen atom in water has a slightly negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge, creating a polar molecule. This polarity allows water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds.

The polarity of both ends of a magnet is different. The positive and negative polarity exist for a magnet.
