Names of the two different sides of a magnet?

positive and negative


How can you find the two poles of a magnet?

The positive side of the magnet always points towards the north while the negative side will be in the opposite direction.


What is the Complication of separating mixtures though magnet?

Roughly speaking, there are only two options here: either a component reacts to the magnet, or it doesn't. This means that you can easily have a mixture of two substances that either both react to the magnet, or none of them reacts to it, so that you can't use the magnet to separate them.


Why each side of a magnet cannot have two poles?

Because the magnetism runs from one end of the magnet to the other - across the whole magnet. You cannot have magnetism running in opposing directions in the SAME magnet.

An airplane with two wings on either side is called a biplane.


What happens when magnet is broken in half?

when a magnet breaks in half on one side the broken side turns into the negative side and the unbroken side stays posotive ( works vice versa) so the point is you get two complete magnets.

A magnet has both a positive side and a negative side. can you just have a magnet that is positive?

No, no matter what, magnets have poles. In other words, magnets will always have a positive and negative side. If you cut you magnet in half, those two new magnets will both have + and - sides. Do this infinity times until you have a magnet 1 atom thick. The atom will still have a positive and negative pole. Hope this helps.

Why when we attract two pins with a magnet the pins will repel?

If you can attract the same two pins with one magnet, then they are both of either positive or negative charge. Because they have the same charge, the pins will repel each other.


What side is a magnet stronger?

The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.


What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?

Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
