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 do poles on a magnet attract and repel?
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.

No, the north side of a magnet only attracts to the south side of another magnet.
How do you find which way is north with a magnet?
To find north you will need the magnet, a needle, a piece of very thin paper & a bucket of water. First you need to take the positive side of the magnet and slide it across the first half of the needle, as if you were striking a match, fifty times. Then do the same with the negative side of the magnet and the other side of the needle. Afterwards, put the needle in the paper so that there are 2 holes and the needle lies horizontally, then place in the water. The positive side of the needle will point North.
Does a positive magnet attch to a negative?

What happens when magnet is broken in half?

Why do unlike poles on a magnet attract each other?
Opposite poles, also known as unlike poles, on a magnet attract each other because the excess number of electrons on the positive side will try to replace the ones missing on the negative side. This peculiar characteristic is what is known as magnetism.
