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.
A magnet has both a positive side and a negative side. can you just have a magnet that is positive?
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.
Where is the magnets force st its weakest?
A magnet is weakest on its negative side/north pole
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.
Do they make an all negative magnet?
No, it is not possible to create an all-negative magnet because magnets have two poles - north and south. The concept of an all-negative magnet conflicts with the fundamental properties that define magnets.
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.

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.
Does a positive magnet attch to a negative?
Yes
What side of the magnet repels and attracts?
The north side of a magnet repels the north side of another magnet and attracts the south side. Conversely, the south side of a magnet repels the south side of another magnet and attracts the north side.
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.
